Dr. R. K. Saggu’s top Breast Cancer Diagnosis Center in Delhi, East Patel Nagar
When you visit our clinic with a breast concern, Dr. Rajinder Kaur Saggu, a female breast specialist, conducts a thorough assessment to determine the nature of the lump. This triple assessment includes a detailed history, clinical examination, breast imaging (ultrasound/mammogram), and if needed, needle aspiration or core biopsy.
What are the common symptoms of breast cancer?
The symptoms of breast cancer can vary, but some common signs to watch for include:
Discovery of a fresh mass in the breast or underarm
Enlargement or thickening of a section of the breast
Sensitivity or puckering of breast skin
Inflammation or scaly skin around the nipple or breast
Retraction of the nipple or discomfort in the nipple region
Unusual nipple discharge, such as blood, not related to breastfeeding
The breast’s size or shape changes.
Discomfort in any region of the breast
It's crucial to note that these symptoms can also be associated with conditions other than cancer, so it's essential to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
What is Breast Biopsy?
A crucial step in diagnosis, a breast biopsy involves removing tissue for microscopic examination. Types include Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA), Core Needle Biopsy, Excisional Biopsy, Incisional Biopsy, and Vacuum Assisted Breast Biopsy (VABB). Each method aids in determining the presence and type of cancer cells.
Understanding Biopsy Reports and Staging Tests
The biopsy report, typically available within 2-5 days, is explained in detail by Dr. R K Saggu. If cancer is detected, rest assured that early-stage breast cancers have high survival rates with proper treatment. Staging tests like ultrasound abdomen, chest X-ray, MRI, bone scan, CT scan, and PET scan help determine the extent of cancer spread.
