How is breast cancer diagnosed?

Asked by Female, 42 ยท 2 months ago

Breast cancer is diagnosed through a combination of clinical breast exam, imaging tests such as mammography or ultrasound, and biopsy, where a small sample of tissue is tested to confirm cancer. Imaging shows suspicious areas, and the biopsy provides the final diagnosis.
