When a routine screening reveals a suspicious area, further testing is necessary. Use the left navigation on this page to learn about the techniques that are used to diagnose breast cancer -- or to confirm that cancer is not present.
If you have questions about what it’s like to experience any of the techniques you read about here, call the YourShoes 24/7 Breast Cancer Support Center at 800-221-2141 and speak with someone who’s been through it. Peer counselors who are breast cancer survivors are available anytime, day or night.
