Overview
Screening for breast lumps is recommended by breast examination, ultrasound, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging.
Screening
The Screening methods of breast lesions:[1]
- Breast examination
- Self breast examination
- Although this is controversial, most clinicians recommend women to perform self examination monthly.
- Clinical breast examination
- Women with age> 40 years is recommended to have clinical breast examination, annually.
- Self breast examination
- Ultrasound
- Whole breast ultrasound detects lesions in dense breast tissue which could not be diagnosed by mammography.[2]
- Mammography[3]
- Gold standard test of screening
- Early detection of non-palpabale masses
- According to 2013 NCCN guidelines
- Annual screening in average risk women aged ≥ 40 years
- Annual screening in high risk women from age of 25 years
- Sensitivity of 0.33-0.39 and specificity of 0.95
- Magnetic resonance imaging[3][4]
- Significant method for detection, assessment, and management of breast cancer
- Sensitivity of 0.77-0.79 and specificity of 0.86-0.89
- According on 2013 NCCN guidelines
- Annual MRI for individuals with > 20% risk of developing breast cancer in lifetime starting at age of 25 years
- Beneficial modality for screening in high risk individuals
- Valuable screening method in individuals with equivocal results from other screening tests
- Usable for individuals with ineffective mammography results due to breast augmentation
