Breast Disease Evaluation

Clinical review of a breast change

Breast disease evaluation is a clinical assessment of lumps and other breast changes. It is a consultation, and any procedure comes only if it is indicated after the findings are understood.

• Lumps, pain, nipple change and skin change are discussed
• Both breasts and the armpits are examined
• Your history, medicines and any previous imaging are reviewed

What examination alone cannot exclude

Examination is important, but it does not by itself rule out cancer. A normal feel does not close the question when symptoms still need tests.

• A lump that feels benign still needs further tests when doubt remains
• Imaging or tissue sampling is arranged when the clinical picture requires it
• You are told plainly what the examination can and cannot show

Further breast tests when they are needed

Further tests are part of a careful assessment, not a sign that a diagnosis has already been made. Results are then used to guide the next step.

• Imaging is requested when it would clarify a lump or another change
• Biopsy is discussed when a tissue diagnosis is needed
• A plan is made only after the relevant results are available
