How is breast cancer diagnosed? It depends on the situation

The diagnosis of breast cancer needs to be based on pathological diagnosis. Before undergoing surgery, the patient needs to undergo a nodule puncture biopsy, followed by a stained section examination, and then an analysis to determine the nature of the lesion.

Breast cancer is a very painful disease that brings serious mental distress to patients and requires early detection and treatment. So, how is breast cancer diagnosed?

If breast cancer patients need to be diagnosed, they need to receive some pathological diagnosis. Generally speaking, before patients receive surgical treatment, they often need to undergo a puncture biopsy of the nodule under the guidance of ultrasound examination, and also need to use pathological staining to perform a section examination, which needs to be determined based on the nature of the patient's local lesions.

In addition, for some patients, they can also receive surgical treatment. During the surgical treatment, the breast nodules need to be removed. In addition, during the surgical treatment, the tumor needs to be quickly frozen and then undergo pathological section examination. With the help of pathological section examination, the nature of the disease can be determined.

In terms of pathological examination, if it can be confirmed that it is a malignant breast tumor, the patient needs to consider mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery for treatment. Usually, appropriate surgical treatment is required based on the different stages and locations of the patient's tumor.
