Cancer Recognition and Screening for Common Breast Disorders and Malignancy
Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am.
2017 Jun.
Abstract
Breast cancer is predicted to be the most common newly diagnosed cancer in women in 2016. Screening mammography is the most commonly used method for the detection of breast cancer in women of average risk. A genetic risk assessment is recommended for women with a greater than 20% to 25% chance of having a predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer. Evaluation of a breast mass begins with a detailed history, assessment for cancer risk, and physical examination.
Keywords: Cancer recognition; Common breast disorders; Malignancy; Screening.
