Breast cancer screening means checking a woman’s breasts for cancer before any signs or symptoms of the disease, preferably after 40 years of age. It helps in finding breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat.
It is nothing but an X-ray of the breast. In some cases, it is the best way to find breast cancer early, which becomes easier to treat before it is big enough to cause symptoms.
It is used along with mammograms to screen women at high risk for breast cancer. With the help of magnets and radio, waves take pictures of the breast.
It is done by a doctor, who uses their hands to feel for lumps or other changes your breast may suffer from.
Being familiar with how breasts look, and feel can help to notice symptoms such as lumps, pain, or changes in size that may be of concern
