Breast Cancer
Breast cancer refers to abnormal growth of the cells of the breast. Though predominant in women, it is also known to occur in Men. If diagnosed at an early stage, there is a 95% chance of cure of breast cancer.
And Symptoms
Mammography is a modality to image the breast using low-dose X-rays. It can help detect abnormalities within the breast tissue such as lumps, micro-calcifications etc. Mammography is a modality to image the breast using low-dose X-rays. It can help detect abnormalities within the breast tissue, such as lumps, micro-calcifications etc, including those abnormalities that are not palpable by one's own hand. Hence, helps detect breast cancer at an early stage. Mammograms can be used as a screening as well as a diagnostic tool.
During a mammogram, the individual's breast is compressed between two flat plates on the mammography machine. This helps to spread out breast tissue to enable the x-rays to capture a clearer image of the breast anatomy and also helps reduce the amount of x-rays required to image the breast.
- This is an advanced technology in mammography, also called 3D mammography. It captures multiple images of the breast tissue by an X-ray tube that moves in an arc, which is reconstructed to form a 3D image of the breast for better visualization and clarity.
- These two modalities may be supplemented by ultrasonography of the breast to better delineate a breast lesion.
- Another latest development in mammography technology is Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), wherein a special dye is injected intravenous, and a mammogram is taken in the usual manner, which shows areas of increased blood supply to the breast, hence helping in better delineation of a suspicious breast lesion.
A special Dye is injected through the veins, and a mammogram is taken in the usual manner. This shows areas of increased blood supply to the breast, hence helping in better delineation of a suspicious breast lesion.
Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)Â uses the interaction of radio waves and magnetic field, which will be processed in a high-speed computer systemto produce detailed scan pictures of both breasts in diagnosing the breast lesion and to look for its extent. It also helps us to rule out any similar lesion in the contralateral breast.
Ultrasound guided breast biopsy is done to confirm whether the tumor is benign or malignant to further characterize it. For lesions that are not visible on the ultrasound and not palpable, a Stereotactic breast biopsy under Tomosynthesis guidance is done. Wire localization using ultrasound/ tomosynthesis/ mammogram is done for clinically non-palpable lesions that help aid in tumor removal.

Type of surgery where the cancerous lump is removed with a rim of surrounding normal breast tissue, and the remaining breast tissue is preserved.
It is the removal of the entire breast, its internal anatomical structures like lobules, ducts, fatty tissue and the overlying skin, including the nipple and areola.
Many women who have surgery to remove an entire breast have the option of having the shape of the removed breast rebuilt – Reconstructive surgery.
Surgical removal of nearby lymph nodes to check whether cancer has spread beyond the breast.
