Breast cancer patients need to know some examination methods to detect the disease in time

The appearance of breast cancer has long endangered women's health. If patients do not combine some breast cancer examinations in time, the condition may continue to worsen, which will endanger their health. Therefore, women should understand some breast cancer examinations so that patients can detect the disease in time. The following are some methods for breast cancer examination.

Breast cancer tests include:

1. Thermal imaging examination: The image is used to display the body surface temperature distribution. Since the proliferation block of cancer cells is rich in blood supply, the corresponding body surface temperature is higher than that of the surrounding tissues. This difference can be used to make a diagnosis. However, this diagnostic method lacks accurate image standards, the abnormal thermal area does not correspond to the tumor, and the diagnostic consistency rate is poor. It has been used less and less in recent years. This breast cancer examination is more common.

2. Near-infrared scanning: The wavelength of near-infrared light is 600 to 900 μm, which can easily penetrate soft tissue. Infrared light is used to pass through different density tissues of the breast to display various grayscale shadows, thereby showing breast lumps. This is also a breast cancer examination item.

3. Ultrasound imaging: Ultrasound imaging is non-destructive and can be used repeatedly. It is more valuable for those with dense breast tissue, but its main use is to distinguish whether the tumor is cystic or solid. The accuracy rate of ultrasound examination in diagnosing breast cancer is 80% to 85%, which is also one of the examination methods for breast cancer.

The above content is the introduction to breast cancer examination. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as you know these breast cancer examination methods, it can help patients better detect the disease and get effective treatment when the time comes. So if you want patients to be cured sooner, please remember these breast cancer examinations. I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
