Tests that examine the breasts are used to
detect (find) and diagnose Breast Cancer
A doctor should be seen if changes in the breast are noticed.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check
general signs of health, including checking for signs of
disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual.
A history of the patient’s health habits and past illnesses
and treatments will also be taken.
Clinical breast exam (CBE): An exam of the breast by a doctor
or other health professional. The doctor will carefully feel
the breasts and under the arms for lumps or anything else
that seems unusual.
Mammogram: An x-ray of the breast.
