The early breast cancer was found the greater chance this disease to be treated successfully. Diagnosing for cancer in a person who do not have any symptoms is called Screening. Screening-Tests for breast cancer, include, clinical breast exams and mammograms, and there is a very important basic health services for women.

Physician or other health professional can examine the breast and armpit for lumps, during a clinical breast examination, which can be signs of breast cancer.

What will become of this "more testing"? The doctor will call it a "biopsy". The procedure required is to take a small amount of fluid or tissue must remove from the breast to make a diagnosis. A doctor may perform a fine needle aspiration, a needle or core biopsy, or surgical biopsy.

These networks go into the lab, this network will be checked on the pathologist examined under a microscope and the results let him see whether one of the cancer cells.

At last, another doctor was studying a new type of surgical biopsy that removes less breast tissue. This new type of biopsy is called image-guided breast needle, or stereotactic biopsy.

With this new system - If approved for general use, we can wait, that outcome is far more efficient and clear, so doctors will become an important surgical tool.

Please note, that 80% of U.S. women who have a surgical breast biopsy do not have cancer. With magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound, researchers think may detect breast cancer with greater accuracy and with lower risk!
