Diagnosis typically involves a combination of methods:
- Clinical breast exam: A healthcare provider will manually check for lumps and other abnormalities. - Mammography: This imaging technique helps identify abnormal areas in the breast. - Ultrasound: Often used alongside mammography to provide a clearer picture, especially in younger women with denser breast tissue. - Biopsy: If a lump is suspicious, a small sample of tissue may be taken for further examination.
