Don't ignore the diagnosis of breast cancer anymore

Breast cancer can cause great harm to women's body and mind. If you want to get rid of the troubles of breast cancer early, you must diagnose breast cancer early and treat it early. So, what are the methods for diagnosing breast cancer? Let's take a look!

1. Routine breast examination for diagnosis of breast cancer is to detect whether there is a mass in the breast, whether there is nipple discharge, or localized thickening through palpation by the doctor. This method is not clear and requires further examination to confirm the diagnosis. In addition, most patients with early breast cancer have not yet developed obvious masses or the masses are small, so some early patients are missed. This method is only for initial diagnosis and cannot be used as a warning or diagnosis.

2. X-ray mammography X-ray mammography is a commonly used method for breast cancer screening. Recent epidemiological surveys of breast cancer show that the diagnosis of breast cancer is through X-ray mammography and health education. The detection rate of breast cancer less than 2cm without lymph node metastasis has increased significantly. Due to the influence of age factors, the sensitivity of diagnosis is reduced, and clinical examinations are often combined with spiral CT or nuclear magnetic resonance. In recent years, it has been heavily polluted by radiation, which has caused some troubles for screening young women who want to have children.

3. Breast ultrasound examination has certain diagnostic value in clinical practice, and it is simple, easy, safe, non-invasive, and can be examined repeatedly, which are incomparable advantages. However, it lacks characteristic images for benign breast diseases and early cancers.

4. Breast MRI: The sensitivity and accuracy of this method are higher than breast B-ultrasound. Literature reports that the diagnostic consistency rate of MRI is higher than that of B-ultrasound and X-ray examination. However, it is not very sensitive for young women with dense breasts, especially for small lesions (less than 0.5 cm in diameter), multiple lesions, and lesions located in the middle and back of the breast. MRI still has false negatives, and is not as sensitive as X-ray mammography in showing microcalcifications. It is also expensive and not suitable for general screening. This is one of the diagnostic methods for breast cancer.

The above is the relevant introduction of breast cancer diagnosis, for your reference only. I believe that everyone has already understood the diagnosis of breast cancer. I hope that everyone can choose a regular hospital to receive breast cancer examinations. In addition, if you have any questions about the diagnosis of breast cancer, please consult online experts!
