Breast Cancer: her-2, pathology report, breast cancer
pathology report, breast cancer, radiation therapy: I do hope you meant 7 mm (0.28 inches)not 7 cm (2.76 inches)! A lumpectomy, as was done here, with a 7 cm tumour can hardly be recommended! If this tumour according to the pathology report was very aggressive I do think that chemo therapy should be seriously...
Breast Cancer: adnormal mammogram and ultersound, needle biopsies, breast masses
needle biopsies, breast masses, history of breast cancer: With a family history of breast cancer I do not think you should wait. Insist on 1. An MRI scan of your breasts! 2.

Breast Cancer: alternative therapies, metastatic breast cancer, stage iv metastatic breast cancer
metastatic breast cancer, stage iv metastatic breast cancer, chemo therapy: I am not familiar with this particular thing. On the other hand I have received many similar questions with regards to other non coventional methods. My answer is always the same. If this particular method (whatever) works as well as it is claimed to do it...
Breast Cancer: Breast Thickening Painful, axillary node, needle biopsies
axillary node, needle biopsies, breast symptoms: With a family history of breast cancer & fibrocystic breasts you should have regular breast check ups with mammography, ultrasound breast scans & MRI breast scans and whenever necessary needle biopsies of any seen lesions. At your present age your risk is...
Breast Cancer: breast biopsy and follow up, atypical ductal hyperplasia, breast biopsy
atypical ductal hyperplasia, breast biopsy, breast mri: Hypoechoic means that the lesions does not reflect (echo) back much ultrasound to the scanner as it is scanned - so the lesion appears more like an empty hole. It may in fact be a fluid filled space OR an area of tissue with much less density OR different...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer, breast cancer lumpectomy, fatty liver
breast cancer lumpectomy, fatty liver, breast cancer: Yes these findings are within normal range after what has happened. At present no reason for alarm. An educated guess (statistics is for vast numbers of cases, should not really be used in a single case like this) is a cure chance of at least 75-80% maybe...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer / estrogen, replacement estrogen, adrenal glands
replacement estrogen, adrenal glands, breast cancer: Estrogen is produced aso both by your adrenals AND by your fat tissue. So even though it makes you somewhat heavier I can not recommend that you stop with it. Not yet anyway. Usually patients are put on 5 years of it. If that is correct in your case is at...
Breast Cancer: breast lumps, needle aspiration biopsy, breast lumps
needle aspiration biopsy, breast lumps, dense breasts: Very dense breasts are tricky! VERY difficult for mammography! But more accessable to ultrasound & MRI. I honestly have no explanation. But it MAY be irregularities in ordinary tissues. A 6 mm lesion can HARDLY be felt (it is less than 1/4 of an inch)...
Breast Cancer: breast ultrasound and mammo, breast ultrasound, breast surgeon
breast ultrasound, breast surgeon, breast pain: I have not examined you or the patient in question, reviewed the medical record, associated laboratory studies, or imaging.

Breast Cancer: cancer after radiation, breast surgeon, needle biopsy
breast surgeon, needle biopsy, wife states: They do not know that but statistically and probabilitywise it is MOST probable! It is more probable than a daughter tumor there from her first. Well not really. Has her left breast been irradiated in any way? If not I can see no reason not to take her new...
Breast Cancer: disappearing lump/density, fibrocystic condition, diagnostic mammogram
fibrocystic condition, diagnostic mammogram, breast scans: Yes it was probably a cyst. If your breasts are fibrocystic they will also be dense and that will impair the use of mammography. What has been found is rather typical in that situation. This makes ultrasound breast scans AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT MRI breast...
Breast Cancer: severe pain in arm/shoulder 8 years after surgery, breast reconstruction, pain killers
Breast Cancer: severe pain in arm/shoulder 8 years after surgery, breast reconstruction, pain killers, herceptin
Breast Cancer: fibroadenoma with p'historicaly, benign breast changes, needle biopsies
benign breast changes, needle biopsies, breast scans: No there is no way at present to reduce it with medicine.

After that have regular (once per year) check ups with mammography, ultrasound & MRI breast scans and needle...
Breast Cancer: Long tem side affects of Arimidex, breast cancer survivor, medication options
breast cancer survivor, medication options, arimidex: After being a survivor for so long in spite of the seriousness of your condition your situation is most probably far too complicated for me to sit here in Sweden far away from you with very limited knowledge of your case and discuss possible options now. That...
Breast Cancer: Lumps after biopsy, breast cancer survivor, dense breast tissue
breast cancer survivor, dense breast tissue, fibrocystic breast condition: Probably fibroadenomas or cysts (none of these is dangerous). Breast cancer is usually not associated with pain and tenderness and you have had a rather typical lesion of this kind removed last year. So you probably have what is called a fibrocystic breast...
Breast Cancer: Mammogram, diagnosing breast cancer, total hysterectomy
diagnosing breast cancer, total hysterectomy, history of breast cancer: Well I have not seen your pictures so this is somewhat tricky. But a 6 mm (almost a 1/4 inch) mass has been seen! At that small size it IS difficult to be sure what it is. So I think a second opinion would be justified! And a high frequency ultrasound breast...
Breast Cancer: Mastectomy-next steps, mri of the brain, ms study
mri of the brain, ms study, white matter: Under the circumstances I think a new MRI scan of your brain may be a good idea. I never interfere in matters regarding medication. That MUST be the responsibility of the dr. in charge of the case. So I suggest that you discuss that with your oncologist! ...
Breast Cancer: mammo and ultra, needle biopsy, surgical biopsy
needle biopsy, surgical biopsy, breast pain: 2 things should be done to secure the diagnosis - especially since you have a family history. 1. A breast MRI scan! And 2. a needle biopsy of your lump to know for sure what it is! If a needle biopsy for some reason is not available a surgical biopsy should...
Breast Cancer: my mother has secondary cancer, secondary cancer, survival time
secondary cancer, survival time, longest time: If it is possible to give more radiation depends on how much she has already received. There is an upper limit to how much that can be given. There MAY be other possibilities too like (anti) hormonal and/or chemo therapy. If those are possible in her case...
Breast Cancer: Negative mammography with malignant cervical nodes, lymph node metastases, stage breast cancer
lymph node metastases, stage breast cancer, breast cancers: Thanks! yes a breast cancer seems likely. Yes such a mammography failure is possible. That is why I suggested a breast MRI scan! The lung CT scan is also important as is the PET scan which can not only (perhaps) find the primary but may also find other places...
Breast Cancer: Path Report Question, breast parenchyma, ductal hyperplasia
breast parenchyma, ductal hyperplasia, needle biopsies: Not at the moment! I can not guarantee your future (I can not guarantee mine either), but if you do regular breast check ups once per year including mammography and ultrasound AND MRI breast scans (including at least needle biopsies of any lesions seen) you...
Breast Cancer: Radiation and mastitis-question from a worried daughter, inflammatory breast cancer, needle biopsy
inflammatory breast cancer, needle biopsy, radiation treatments: While I can not a priori rule out an inflammatory breast cancer without an examination it is probably in this situation less probable. And when I write inflammation I mean JUST inflammation. Had I meant an inflammatory cancer I would have written that (and...
Breast Cancer: radiation needed after mastectomy and chemo, two lumps, core biopsy
two lumps, core biopsy, breast surgeon: I agree with your oncologist that radiation there is necessary and should be done! And it should not be difficult to do. Well it will deliver a higher cancer killing effect locally and that is what we want. If done carefully it should not be much of a problem!...
Breast Cancer: Stage IV breast cancer, breast cancer, survival time
breast cancer, survival time, aggressive therapy: I have not examined you or the patient in question, reviewed the medical record, associated laboratory studies, or imaging. What follows is offered to you for information purposes, only and does not constitute treatment. I advise an examination from a qualified...
Breast Cancer: severe pain in arm/shoulder 8 years after surgery, unfortunate side effect, lymph glands
unfortunate side effect, lymph glands, arm shoulder: Yes this IS a matter of concern! It is either a LATE unfortunate side effect of your surgery (maybe in combination with the radiation therapy) or a symptom of your cancer making a relapse, a third possibility is some orthopedic condition in your shoulder area....
Breast Cancer: sonogram results, sonogram results, benign appearance
sonogram results, benign appearance, lymph node: This is nothing alarming! what is seen is a SMALL mass (0.16 x 0.2 inches in size). It does not look dangerous in any way. It looks like a normal lymph node and is located on your left side down close to your arm pit. You can wait until you have your appointment!...
Breast Cancer: Abnormal U/S concerns, upper outer quadrant, needle biopsy
upper outer quadrant, needle biopsy, dense breasts: Dear Elizabeth, I m a Swede living in Sweden and English is NOT my first language. So when writing to me PLEASE abstain from using acronyms/abbreviations that will just increase the risk of misunderstandings and mistakes! What is HRT & TAH? Based on your...
Breast Cancer: abormal cells in breast, and thicking of uterus, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspiration
core needle biopsies, fine needle aspiration, endometrial biopsies: Dear Jennifer, I m a Swede living in Sweden and English is not my first language. So PLEASE, when writing to me do not use acronyms/abbreviations or sms-style text as that will increase risks of misunderstandings and mistakes! They may have to do with each...
Breast Cancer: BREAST CANCER, infiltrating ductal carcinoma, cancer question
infiltrating ductal carcinoma, cancer question, ductal carcinoma: In your first question you mention that her tumor was PR positive. PR means progesterone which is a female sex hormone. So her tumor DOES HAVE receptors for that hormone. There was also ER - which stands for estrogen the other female sex hormone - but you...
Breast Cancer: Breast Cancer, proton beam therapy, proton beams
proton beam therapy, proton beams, cancer question: Well it had spread to that node but not completely. Otherwise it would be worse. But yet it had spread and you should be treated accordingly. I hate abbreviations. They increase the risk of misunderstandings! Proton beams are used against small targets. They...
Breast Cancer: Breast Cancer Lymph Node, invasive ductal carcinoma, sentinal node biopsy
invasive ductal carcinoma, sentinal node biopsy, ductal carcinoma: Well, it has at least spread to the sentinel node which automatically makes it a stage 3. And that is not good. That means that both radiation therapy and chemotherapy should be given and if possible anti hormonal therapy too. It is impossible to know at...
Breast Cancer: Breast Check, routine check, mammogram
routine check, mammogram, lumps: Well, honestly I do not know more than you why precisely they are calling you back but it may just be that one or several pictures is/are unclear for whatever reason and nothing more so nothing alarming in itself. But of course I can not promise that. If we...
Breast Cancer: best drugs or treatments for cancer, new drugs, y0
new drugs, y0, margenes: First of all I do not know Spanish and my wife who does is at the moment abroad. I have therefore great difficulties with the reports you sent. I can only base my conclusions on what little I do understand or think - right or wrong - I have figured out. I...
Breast Cancer: CEA # in metastatic breast cancer, tumor marker, brain tumors
tumor marker, brain tumors, cancer question: My assessment was actually unfortunately based on those tumor marker numbers and experience of previous cases where the cancer has spread to the brain. So unfortunately the picture is grim. The decrease seen is completely in line with what I wrote in my previous...
Breast Cancer: hypoechoic nodule, calcium oxylate crystals, fibrocystic changes
calcium oxylate crystals, fibrocystic changes, intense enhancement: Neither biopsy shows a cancer or even anything that can be regarded as cancer suspect. What is shown are typical fibrocystic changes combined with some hyperplasia in milk ducts that MAY in the future develop into some precancerous changes. I personally think...
Breast Cancer: Mass or Cyst?, fibrocystic breasts, ultrasound report
fibrocystic breasts, ultrasound report, dense breasts: Fibrocystic lesions may wax and wane over time due to hormonal changes and influences. So this is NOT unusual and does not have to have anything to do with cancer. A needle biopsy of your lesion can quickly exclude or confirm the diagnosis! Good luck! ...
Breast Cancer: Metastatic breast cancer, lobular carcinoma, breast cancer
lobular carcinoma, breast cancer, chemo therapy: Her second cancer was probably completely independent of her first one since its pathology (ductal visa vi lobular) was completely different. So I m sorry she did not accept more chemo therapy! Without an examination it is impossible to tell you what this...
Breast Cancer: mammo, fibroglandular tissue, o clock
fibroglandular tissue, o clock, asymmetry: Well this is probably a varition of a normal condition. I doubt very much that this is anything dangerous. However I would have ordered a nedle biopsy right away to be on the safe side. But I would have easy access to that facility so it is easy for me to...
Breast Cancer: mammo and ultrasound, dense breast tissue, diagnostic mammogram
dense breast tissue, diagnostic mammogram, breast scans: If you have VERY dense breast tissues there is not much a mammography can pick up since most lesions will be hidden by your dense normal tissues (like looking through a dense fog). Such breasts should therefore be examined with a combination of mammography,...
Breast Cancer: mammogram, lobulated nodules, no film change, forensic chemist, diagnostic ultrasound
forensic chemist, diagnostic ultrasound, film change: While I m not against an ultrasound breast scan or even an MRI breast scan for that matter I do not think such scans can contribute much in this situation. Your symptoms most probably are not associated with any tumor at all. I suggest that you discuss your...
Breast Cancer: Phyllodes Tumor and recurrence, needle biopsies, breast scans
needle biopsies, breast scans, milk glands: Thank you! It seems to be a low grade phyllodes tumor so with a low risk of coming back. The histological picture of your milk glands is somewhat disturbing. You probably have a somewhat increased risk of breast cancer. I suggest regular 6 month check ups...
Breast Cancer: Pregnacy and DCIS recurrance risk?, full term pregnancy, pregnancy increase
full term pregnancy, pregnancy increase, left breast: You have a somewhat higher risk than normal of getting a new cancer in your right breast. That risk may increase somewhat - but not much - by a pregnancy. If your breasts are checked regularly any such change should be found early. If I were you and wanted...
Breast Cancer: about phyllode tumor and mastectomy, pathology report, mastectomy
pathology report, mastectomy, lumpectomy: That was a hard question! To really be able to answer I would need to read your pathology report. At the moment I have nothing to say against the opinion of your dr. and the tumor WAS quite big! So you should probably follow the advice of your dr. Yes yo can...
Breast Cancer: pre cancer in my biopsy, fine needle aspiration, exfoliative cytology
fine needle aspiration, exfoliative cytology, needle biopsies: Pre cancer usually means a precursor to cancer but without more information I can not evaluate this. Where from in your body were the biopsies taken? What kind of biopsies (needle biopsies - core or thin/fine needle aspiration - or exfoliative cytology or...
Breast Cancer: stage 4 precancerous cells?, ductal breast cancer, precancerous cells
ductal breast cancer, precancerous cells, invasive ductal breast cancer: Yes grade & stage are 2 different things. I have already told you what stage means. Grade is an evaluation of how malignant a cancer seems to be based on its microscopical picture. Grade goes from 1 to 3 and in some cases to 4. The higher the grade the more...
Breast Cancer: 4mm microcalcifications cluster, stereotactic needle biopsy, sterotactic biopsy
stereotactic needle biopsy, sterotactic biopsy, breast care: Why could they not do the biopsy? In my opinion a stereotactic needle biopsy SHOULD be done in this situation to KNOW what this is! I m NOT happy with waiting 6 months! It may be nothing serious but we do NOT KNOW that so I definitely would like to see a biopsy...
Breast Cancer: ASYMMETRIC DESITY RESIDUAL TISSUE CLASS II, tissue class, malignancy
tissue class, malignancy, density: Assymetric density means that you see something on one side that you can not see on the other side. Residual tissue means remaining tissue. I suppose this is in a breast? Class II MAY then (I m not sure that that is what is intended) mean BI RAD 2 which is...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer, radiation therapy, breast cancer
radiation therapy, breast cancer, vasodilation: I m just here for cancer so with regards to vasodilation you should ask a cardiologist. Ordinary unequal breasts are no danger. Most people are not very symmetrical. Yes it is often (almost always) necessary with radiation therapy, chemo therapy & hormonal...
Breast Cancer: breast biopsy results, upper outer quadrant, breast biopsy results
upper outer quadrant, breast biopsy results, needle biopsies: Well at least one, probably 2 cancers were found in your right breast. Based on that and what I have written before I have to suggest a mastectomy. Your cancers must be tested for genetic traits and hormonal receptors and any further treatment if necessary...
Breast Cancer: Dear, Doctor, breast scans, needle biopsies
breast scans, needle biopsies, check ups: In this situation I strongly suggest regular check ups at least once per year with mammography COMBINED with BOTH ultrasound breast scans AND MRI breast scans and with needle biopsies of anything unclear seen! If that is done any bad development should be...
Breast Cancer: Fibroadonema, needle biopsy, left breast
needle biopsy, left breast, o clock: An ultrasound guided needle biopsy probably should be so easy & simple to do that I see no reason why it should not have been done immediately as that would both have given you a very sure diagnosis and saved you worrysome time! So I suggest that you do that!...
Breast Cancer: Lumps in Breast and Armpit, lumps in breast, pain in the breast
lumps in breast, pain in the breast, living in sweden: They MAY be related. I m a Swede living in Sweden and that drug name does not tell me anything. Nothing with that name is sold here. I can not guarantee that this is not dangerous but what I mostly think of is an infection/inflammation. A dr. should see you...
Breast Cancer: Lymphedemia Infection, sensitive situation, clinical evaluation
sensitive situation, clinical evaluation, cellulitis: Normally around 10 days, but this is a potentially MUCH more serious and sensitive situation so a much longer period may be needed. You will have to ask your dr. what is considered necessary in YOUR present case! Since this is based on the clinical evaluation...
Breast Cancer: Mamogram, breast cancer risk, breast cancers
breast cancer risk, breast cancers, increase breast: In theory there may be a SMALL risk increase BUT that is in general more than compensated by the increased ability of finding breast cancers early. However in your case at your age and with no family history it may not be necessary to do it. The risk of one...
Breast Cancer: Mamogram results, mamogram results, enlarged lymph nodes
mamogram results, enlarged lymph nodes, arm pits: You have enlarged lymph nodes in your arm pits. There is not enough information here to tell you what that means. However they may be checked by fine/thin needle aspiration biopsies. With regards to your breasts BI RAD 1 means that your cancer risk there at...
Breast Cancer: Options for treatment of IDC, sentinel lymph nodes, mucinous carcinoma
sentinel lymph nodes, mucinous carcinoma, bilateral mastectomy: Breast tissues are hormone dependent. That is why these patches should not be placed there as they there can give stronger hormonal side effects! But 4 months is by far a much too short time to develop any form of breast cancer! So you are NOT guilty of causing...
Breast Cancer: Pain in armpit, needle aspiration biopsy, lumps in armpits
needle aspiration biopsy, lumps in armpits, fine needle aspiration: If you are red there the skin IS irritated so there is probably an infection there. That the whole thing is painful also supports that it is caused by an infection. I agree with your dr.! If you continue to be worried a thin/fine needle aspiration biopsy of...
Breast Cancer: Post Mastectomy,reconstruction/chemo need help with hormone therapy, invasive ductal carcinoma, post mastectomy
invasive ductal carcinoma, post mastectomy, ductal carcinoma: This is a tricky question. Yes such therapy is probably less certain here. But since - even though you have tried to provide me with all necessary facts - my clinical knowledge of you is extremely limited I must ask you to discuss this matter with the dr....
Breast Cancer: question re: osteopenia/exercise, breast cancer survivor, organic dairy products
breast cancer survivor, organic dairy products, adult ballet: If I understand ballet at all - I like classical music and opera but am not exactly a ballet fan - it is actually quite an extreme physical training and exercise so probably quite intense. I m a rather lazy person - especially with regards to physical exercise...
Breast Cancer: ultrasound results breast lump, breast ultrasound, breast scans
breast ultrasound, breast scans, breast cancers: In my opinion you SHOULD do BOTH! Have a mammography done but INSIST too on having an ultrasound guided needle biopsy of this lesion done! That way you will KNOW what it is and can act accordingly. In the future always do mammography TOGETHER with ultrasound...
Breast Cancer: 2 cm mass @ 2:00 left breast, sentinel lymph node, sentinel lymph node biopsy
sentinel lymph node, sentinel lymph node biopsy, lymph node biopsy: Well it either is or is not a cancer. If not there is hardly a problem. If it is it is in my opinion a little too big for just a lumpectomy & local radiation therapy. So I would probably suggest a somewhat bigger surgical procedure but a mastectomy may be...
Breast Cancer: Abnormal Mammogram, doppler sonography, diagnostic mammogram
doppler sonography, diagnostic mammogram, abnormal mammogram: You have asked me a straight question so I ll give you a straight answer regardless of if you like it or not. If I decided this I would have ordered BOTH MRI breast scans AND ultrasound breast scans from the very beginning as a complement to your mammography....
Breast Cancer: Atypical cells, breast ultrasound, atypical cells
breast ultrasound, atypical cells, dense breasts: To take out the lesion surgically (biopsy or lumpectomy) MAY be possible even if you are pregnant - you have to discuss that with your surgeon. But the rest of ANY cancer treatment can hardly be done if you are pregnant! But we do not know if this is a cancer...
Breast Cancer: birads4 suspicious findings, stereotactic biopsy, stereotatic biopsy
stereotactic biopsy, stereotatic biopsy, hypoechoic mass: Well if it has been classified as a BI RAD 4 that means that your cancer risk here is quite real - but not a certainty. So your stereotactic biopsy is a NECESSITY in order to KNOW what it is you have there! It is better than to go directly to any surgery because...
Breast Cancer: breast problems and mri, apocrine metaplasia, mammotome biopsy
apocrine metaplasia, mammotome biopsy, birads 3: Where you are in your menstrual cycle can be determined in the lab. The important thing is to find out if there is any malignancy suspect lesion there. For that both an MRI and a biopsy are important. I think it is better to have this done rather than to wait...
Breast Cancer: Delayed Radiation after Lumpectomy Due to Pregnancy, lymph node involvement, breast reconstruction
lymph node involvement, breast reconstruction, anesthia: A lumpectomy SHOULD (if possible) be followed by radiation therapy. Here that is obviously not possible. So in order to follow an evidence based medical practice a lumpectomy should NOT have been done in your case but a mastectomy (followed immediately by...
Breast Cancer: Fertility Treatements after DCIS, vaginal progesterone, full term pregnancy
vaginal progesterone, full term pregnancy, fertility doctors: I understand your concern BUT development of any cancer is a long and complex process. Yes in the development of breast cancers hormones do play a role. But they are not the only factors involved. In a case of a cancer in situ (stage 0) of the breast, the...
Breast Cancer: Abnormal Mammogram, fibrocystic breast condition, oncology journal
Breast Cancer: Abnormal Mammogram, fibrocystic breast condition, oncology journal, fibrocystic
Breast Cancer: fibroadenomas/biopsy, needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration
needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration, fine needle biopsy: It is almost impossible to be sure of anything in medicine to a 100% level. My personal opinion is that a fine/thin needle aspiration biopsy would be enough here together with ultrasound & mammography findings. Especially as the needle may be ultrasound guided...
Breast Cancer: Immediate vs. Delayed Breast Reconstruction, breast reconstruction, immediate
breast reconstruction, immediate, delayed: Kristine, Immediate breast reconstruction almost always provides a far superior cosmetic result compared to delayed reconstruction, especially if you re having a skin-sparing mastectomy. I would definitely recommend immediate breast reconstruction whenever...
Breast Cancer: Increased density in breast tissue, needle biopsy, left breast
needle biopsy, left breast, breast tissue: It just means that for some reason your tissues there have become denser (more opaque to x-rays) than before. That may be for a number of reasons from an increased water content which may happen in inflammations to an increased mass there which could be a...
Breast Cancer: Lump in breast, needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration
needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration, fine needle aspiration biopsy: As you yourself has written a cancer is very improbable but since it is there and it worries you you should let a dr. check you. A thin/fine needle aspiration biopsy should be able to settle the diagnosis, especially if done together with some radiological...
Breast Cancer: Mammo BI-RADS 4B, stereotactic biopsy, outer quadrant
stereotactic biopsy, outer quadrant, needle biopsy: Actually I recommended ultrasound & MRI scans NOT ONLY to find other ways of doing biopsies but ALSO to gain more information of/from the mass. B RADS 4B means that there is a considerable cancer risk in what the radiologist is seeing, so a biopsy is IMPORTANT...
Breast Cancer: Mammotome Stereotactic Biopsy & Clip, benign fibroadenoma, stereotactic biopsy
benign fibroadenoma, stereotactic biopsy, lobulated mass: First of all titanium clips are NOT radioactive in any way, are hardly known to cause any allergic reactions at all and are chemically very inert. In fact titanium is most probably the best tolerated metal inside the body. Which is the reason it is used for...
Breast Cancer: mammagram results, self breast exams, needle biopsy
self breast exams, needle biopsy, breast surgeon: It is possible. More can not be said at present. If your breasts are dense your mammography should be complemented with BOTH MRI AND ultrasound breast scans. Since your lump can be palpated a needle biopsy could quickly give you the diagnosis too! Please do...
Breast Cancer: mammogram, breast cancers, breast tumors
breast cancers, breast tumors, needle biopsy: Pain is a very rare symptom in early breast cancers so that is not a useful symptom! Also physical examinations do find breast tumors MUCH later (and therefore bigger) than what mammography does. Most cancers grow fairly slowly. That is why it is a good idea...
Breast Cancer: What does it all mean, needle localization biopsy, invasive ductal carcinoma
needle localization biopsy, invasive ductal carcinoma, sentinel node biopsy: A breast lesion has been found in your right breast. In the first biopsy only a ductal carcinoma in situ was found = a cancer originating and growing in a milk duct ( ductal ). It was filling up the milk duct ( comedo type ). But it did NOT invade surrounding...
Breast Cancer: Pain post mastectomy collarbone area, situ breast cancer, post mastectomy
situ breast cancer, post mastectomy, core biopsy: This is a hard question! If I read your question correctly your pain problems there started even before surgery. Right? Since all these radiological tests have been negative I doubt very much that your pain is the result of any metastatic cancer growth in...
Breast Cancer: Breast leaking fluid, milk glands, sweat glands
milk glands, sweat glands, galactogram: This sometimes happens. Unless there is blood in the fluid any cancer risk is VERY small. The fluid can also be checked for cancer cells with exfoliative cytology (like a gynecological pap smear). You can also have the milk duct from which the fluid comes...
Breast Cancer: Breat cancer, fibrocystic breast condition, left breast
fibrocystic breast condition, left breast, breast cancer: At your age breast cancer is EXTREMELY rare! Also the fact that this lump is painful, tender & sore makes it even more improbable that this is a cancer. Symptoms and signs indicate that this probably is a sign of a fibrocystic breast condition which is very...
Breast Cancer: Do I have breast cancer?, sore breasts, red dots
sore breasts, red dots, breast cancer: No Paige at your age you can not have it. The things you describe are normal variations! NOTHING to be scared of! Good luck! I do not understand what was unclear in my message! You do not have breast cancer! What you describe is normal for girls your age!...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer, invasive ductal carcinoma, biopsy report
invasive ductal carcinoma, biopsy report, ductal carcinoma: The strong HER2 positive indication does not matter clinically now (except that she carries a strong genetic risk of developing breast cancer and maybe ovarian cancer and can pass that risk on to any offspring) once these cancers are a fact. It is rather important...
Breast Cancer: breast lump, needle aspiration biopsy, fibrocystic breast condition
needle aspiration biopsy, fibrocystic breast condition, breast scans: At your age the risk of breast cancer is VERY small indeed, furthermore your symptoms with pain, tenderness and soreness make a cancer diagnosis even more unlikely. It may be a cyst or a fibroadenoma - in both cases signs of a fibrocystic breast condition...
Breast Cancer: Confused,am I doing the right thing?, excision biopsy, diagnostic mammogram
excision biopsy, diagnostic mammogram, excisional biopsy: Since you have a family history of breast cancer this should be taken seriously. If this lump can be felt I do not understand why no one has suggested a thin needle aspiration cytology biopsy - if available where you are - so it would be known immediately...
Breast Cancer: Breast leaking fluid, adnoma, prolactin levels
Breast Cancer: Breast leaking fluid, adnoma, prolactin levels, pituitary gland
Breast Cancer: Do I have breast cancer?, breast cancer, reoccuring
Breast Cancer: Do I have breast cancer?, breast cancer, reoccuring
Breast Cancer: Invasive Ductal Carcinoma - breast, sentinel node biopsy, invasive ductal carcinoma
sentinel node biopsy, invasive ductal carcinoma, needle biopsy: Well the bottom line of these findings is that this is a rather aggressive cancer that grows quickly and is invading its surroundings. Its cells shows themselves to be rather immature which fits with the overall picture. On the other hand the tumor seems to...
Breast Cancer: Invasive triple negative ductal breast cancer, ductal breast cancer, sentinel node
ductal breast cancer, sentinel node, cytoxin: Yes grade is a prognostic factor. But it is not the only one. In your case we have tumor size: the bigger the tumor the worse the prognosis, you had a small tumor, 8 mm. We also have stage. The higher the stage the worse the prognosis. You had a low stage...
Breast Cancer: LUMP IN BREAST, needle biopsies, lump in breast
needle biopsies, lump in breast, limp nodes: Well in this case, insurance or no insurance, you HAVE TO go to a dr. and BE CHECKED! You will need mammography, ultrasound & MRI scans and needle biopsies in order to have a diagnosis so your drs. will know what to do. How you should arrange that I do not...
Breast Cancer: Metaplastic Breast Cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, spindle cells
squamous cell carcinoma, spindle cells, bilateral mastectomy: Well, if I were you I would probably accept the radiation therapy, but be very careful to have regular breast check ups including mammography, MRI & ultrasound scans. I do not think I would accept bilateral mastectomy. But then again I can not be sure, it...
Breast Cancer: Metastic Breast Cancer Diagnosis?, breast cancer diagnosis, breast tumor
breast cancer diagnosis, breast tumor, bone cancers: I agree that her cancer is not curable but controlable. But since I do not know her actual primary tumor status I do not understand why surgery is not possible. It may however be impossible if her primary tumor is very advanced. I suggest a second opinion....
Breast Cancer: mammo & us neg but I have 2 palpable lumps?????, excisional breast biopsy, clinical breast exam
excisional breast biopsy, clinical breast exam, circumscribed nodule: I think your husband is right! As in all dense breasts (and the rest too) mammography should be complemented with MRI breast scans. Breast discharge is NOT a cancer sign unless mixed with blood. This period of dark color was probably a temporary thing so now...
Breast Cancer: second primary breast cancer, dear colleague, labc
dear colleague, labc, breast cancer: Dear colleague! I think she should be treated just as a first primary of that type. Personally I would seriously consider radiation therapy too. So mainly otherwise as the first one except of course for the hormonal component. I hope I have been clear emogh,...
Breast Cancer: soy products, cancer rate, breast cancer
cancer rate, breast cancer, japanese men: Now you have put me on insecure ice! This is not really known. Some think so, others not. Some believe that the low prostate cancer rate in Chinese & Japanese men is due to these soy products. But nobody KNOWS! Many people have different (and sometimes STRONG)...
Breast Cancer: 2 suspicious breast masses, breast masses, milk supply
breast masses, milk supply, biopsies: Lymphoma can happen almost anywhere BUT lymphoma is hardly the first thing you think of when breasts are concerned. What do you mean with return of milk supply ? We just have to wait for your pathology reports. Please do keep me posted! When we do have those...
Breast Cancer: Breast Calcification, breast calcification, needle biopsy
breast calcification, needle biopsy, ultrasound scan: Was your surgery in your breast? If not I think that explanation is very unlikely! It is not very probable even if you have had some sort of surgery there. Ask for an MRI breast scan of that lesion and an ultrasound scan of it and if still somewhat unclear...
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer, cinder block, health care providers
cinder block, health care providers, maternal grandmother: The individuals who care about you are correct, you should see a physician. If your daughter was older, she would undoubtedly say the same thing. While breast cancer in the twenties is rare, I have treated three. My youngest patient was nineteen. You...
Breast Cancer: Breast implants and cancer?, Breast implants and breast cancer, breast implants
Breast implants and breast cancer, breast implants, breast augmentation: Dear Carol, You have raised a very important question. Certainly it highlights the importance of thorough patient education. You are right to have reservations about undergoing breast augmentation considering your close family history of breast cancer....
Breast Cancer: Breast Lump, fibrocystic changes, needle biopsy
fibrocystic changes, needle biopsy, breast lump: It is actually quite difficult to base any kind of accurate preliminary diagnosis on how it feels like and it demands a lot of experience. Even with that experience mistakes are common - in both directions - and it is almost impossible to do it based on...
Breast Cancer: Breast MRI during Radiation Treatment, aquare one, radiation therapies
aquare one, radiation therapies, cancer breast: This was a hard one! Breast MRI scans during radiation therapy are NOT common and experience therefore VERY limited. All radiation therapies can induce an inlammation in the treated tissues - like an internal sunburn. It is quite possible that what is seen...
Breast Cancer: baseline mammogram, baseline mammogram, assymmetry
baseline mammogram, assymmetry, left breast: More pictures are OFTEN needed so that is NOT uncommon and does not necesserily mean anything bad. Assymmetry only means that your right breast and your left breast do not look exactly alike, also not uncommon. So that too does not necessarily mean anything...
Breast Cancer: my boobies, ultrasound technition, needle biopsy
ultrasound technition, needle biopsy, left breast: At your age the risk of a breast cancer is very small. I think you should have a mammography though since something can be felt there AND ALSO a needle biopsy! Should be quite easy to do since it can be felt. With that we will know what it is. Also a breast...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer, ductal hyperplasia, lymph glands
ductal hyperplasia, lymph glands, pathology report: In order to explain this as well as possible to you I would need to read her full (whole) pathology report! Please copy & paste it in here and I ll tell you what it all means. Normally the pain should go away after a few weeks at least. So if it remains for...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer and implants, breast cancer risk, cancer marker
breast cancer risk, cancer marker, breast augmentation: I have not examined you or the patient in question, reviewed the medical record, associated laboratory studies, or imaging. What follows is offered to you for information purposes, only and does not constitute treatment. I advise an examination from a qualified...
Breast Cancer: breast implants and cancer, breast augmentation, breast implants
breast augmentation, breast implants, breast cancer: First of all, an implant does NOT increase your risk of breast cancer. It MAY make diagnosis somewhat more difficult but it will not destroy the possibility of detection or treatment. What it will look like depends on the tumor and the therapy it needs not...
Breast Cancer: breast lump, fibrocystic breast condition, breast scans
fibrocystic breast condition, breast scans, excisional biopsy: A needle biopsy - if available where you are, wherever that may be - would be MUCH less invasive and quite good enough to reach a sure diagnosis. If not available though and you can not go to where it is your options are limited even though your cancer risk...
Breast Cancer: cancer mets, pain in left shoulder, finger numbness
pain in left shoulder, finger numbness, calf area: On principle you SHOULD mention any and every new symptom to your dr - otherwise how would your dr. know about it? If I were your dr. I would order x-ray pictures, MRI scans, PET-scans and other isotope scans of your skeleton. If there are no signs of anything...
Breast Cancer: Fibroadenomata and surgery, core needle biopsy, upper outer quadrant
core needle biopsy, upper outer quadrant, old wives tales: Let me deal with the most important question. Will a biopsy open Pandora s box? The answer is no. Multiple longitudinal studies have shown that biopsy does not make cancer spread like wildfire or somehow take-off, making matters worse. This is actually...
Breast Cancer: Breast MRI during Radiation Treatment, breast mri, breast surgeons
Breast Cancer: Breast MRI during Radiation Treatment, breast mri, breast surgeons, dcis
Breast Cancer: found a lump, needle aspiration biopsy, fibrocystic breast condition
needle aspiration biopsy, fibrocystic breast condition, breast cancer: The fact that it is tender makes it less likely that it is a cancer. It also seems to be related to your period, so it may well be a sign of a fibrocystic breast condition that has nothing to do with breast cancer. To be sure of that however I strongly recommend...
Breast Cancer: i have a lump in my breast, fibrocystic breast condition, milk dud
fibrocystic breast condition, milk dud, breast cancers: It is rather impossible (at least at present) to find cancer cells in the blood, even in patients with known existing breast cancers! So if that is the purpose of the visit your mother will be disappointed! At your age breast cancer is almost unheard of!...
Breast Cancer: lumps not seen on mammography,ultrasound,mri, cancerous lumps, left breast
cancerous lumps, left breast, fibrous tissue: I have not examined you, reviewed the medical record, associated laboratory studies, or imaging. What follows is offered to you for information purposes, only and does not constitute treatment. I advise an examination from a qualified healthcare professional...
Breast Cancer: Mamograph, upper outer quadrant, needle biopsies
upper outer quadrant, needle biopsies, surgical biopsies: A fibroadenoma is completely harmless! I think that drs. where you are (wherever that may be) are used to do surgical biopsies of findings like this. hat is however not necessary especially if you can do ultrasound guided needle biopsies. Your health will...
Breast Cancer: Mamography, upper outer quadrant, mass lesion
upper outer quadrant, mass lesion, needle biopsy: No signs of any cancer is found anywhere. No surgery needed. If you want the diagnosis confirmed by a pathologist demand an ultrasound guided needle biopsy of the lesion seen in the left breast s upper outer part which according to both the mammogram and the...
Breast Cancer: Is MRI guided biopsy really necessary?, upper outer quadrant, needle biopsies
upper outer quadrant, needle biopsies, breast ultrasound: That depends on the lesion, not everything is seen by ultrasound. You can see much more by MRI. If your particular lesion can be seen with ultrasound I do not know. That is at present all I can tell you. Of course ultrasound can be tried but it is quite possible...
Breast Cancer: painful armpit lump, painful armpit lump, scar tissues
painful armpit lump, scar tissues, lymph node involvement: This sounds as something connected with local infections/inflammations in your right axilla NOT anything that has to do with lymphoma or cancer! The lump you can feel is most probably the area where these infections happen now and then so the tissues there...
Breast Cancer: problems with radiation, loritabs, breast surgeon
loritabs, breast surgeon, radiation therapy: It is not common and you should discuss this with her breast surgeon as soon as possible. I can not tell you what it is - for that an examination is needed, so her surgeon should check her since it probably has to do with her lumpectomy and not her radiation...
Breast Cancer: ultrasound results, fibrocystic changes, needle biopsies
fibrocystic changes, needle biopsies, ultrasound results: Well ultrasound is not that certain but malignancy can at least not be excluded. I strongly suggest ultrasound guided needle biopsies of these masses and if possible also MRI breast scans. With so much fibrocystic changes in your breasts ordinar mammograms...
Breast Cancer: Age when no further test needed, breast scans, breast cancer
breast scans, breast cancer, german study: A German study has recently shown benefits of mammography even at old age so my reply would be that I can not recommend you to stop. MRI breast scans can be done as a replacement but are more time consuming and much more expensive than mammography and not...
Breast Cancer: Bloody Discharge, breast lesions, needle biopsies
breast lesions, needle biopsies, milk duct: That should be examined with: 1. Exfoliative cytology of your discharge, 2. Mammography & galactography (mammography with an x-ray contrast fluid injected into the milk duct from which your discharge comes) of the discharging breast (and mammography of the...
Breast Cancer: Breast Cancer, surgical biopsies, atypical cells
surgical biopsies, atypical cells, cancer question: Yes atypical cells can resolve on their own. HOWEVER that is MUCH LESS likely in a breast than for example in the uterine cervix (checked with pap smears). So your risks are bigger here. Furthermore it is NOT true that atypical cells develop due to the aspiration...
Breast Cancer: Breast Cancer Birad rating, patchy areas, pathology results
patchy areas, pathology results, differential diagnosis: Well, if your rating is correct you are at risk. So quite a number of women with a Birad 4 do end up with cancer, but it is not a sure thing. However biopsies are necessary, either stereotactically or under ultrasound and/or MRI guidance to make sure they...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer risk, breast cancer risk, self breast exams
breast cancer risk, self breast exams, needle biopsies: Well, you probably are at a lower risk, but I can not a priori exclude you from any genetic risk. If you have lumpy breasts mammography alone is not enough. I would recommend check ups once a year including mammography, ultrasound AND MRI breast scans and...
Breast Cancer: breast MRI, dense breasts, dense breast
dense breasts, dense breast, mri scans: Breast MRI scans give MUCH more and better information than x-ray mammography, especially with dense breasts. If they have said that everything is ok you can probably wait a year until next scan. If ANYTHING is unclear however I strongly do recommend a needdle...
Breast Cancer: burning and pain, gall bladder, living in sweden
gall bladder, living in sweden, sign of breast cancer: Pain is not a usual symptom or sign of breast cancer. Even so I think that at your age you should try to have a mammography arranged! How to do that though I do not know since I m a Swede living in Sweden. So that you unfortunately must find out on your own...
Breast Cancer: ca-breast, brain mets, body swelling, d dimer, radiation oncologist
d dimer, radiation oncologist, face legs: If so, no there are at the moment no signs of any tumour growth elsewhere. Without having full access to all clinical data it is very hard to give any advice in this situation. Well, she does need radiation therapy to her brain after surgery. The dose of 30...
Breast Cancer: DCIS Lumpectomy Results, lymph node biopsies, progesterone estrogen
lymph node biopsies, progesterone estrogen, tumor genetics: What you had during surgery was frozen section pathology . That can ONLY be done if you have a pathology department in the hospital. If not - which seems to be the case here - a week is about normal. If indeed this is ONLY a cancer in situ (or breast cancer...
Breast Cancer: Delayed reconstruction with DIEP flap after mastectomy, breast reconstruction, breast cancer recurrence
breast reconstruction, breast cancer recurrence, diep flap: Mary, DIEP flaps or any other method of breast reconstruction can potentially delay the diagnosis of recurrent local disease of the chest wall (chest muscles). However, many studies have shown that breast reconstruction does not impact local recurrence...

Breast Cancer: burning and pain, local health department, mammogram, financial aid
Breast Cancer: Large (size of ping-pong balls) lumps in both breast., ping pong balls, breast lesions
ping pong balls, breast lesions, needle biopsies: First of all I m a Swedish M.D. & cancer specialist, living in Sweden. That makes it more or less impossible for me to tell you what can be done without health insurance where you are - wherever that may be. I ll have to concentrate on what SHOULD be done....
Breast Cancer: Mammogram, breast cancer, menarche
breast cancer, menarche, risk category: Mild assymetri only means that you do not quite look the same on your left and right sides. Most people are asymmetrical to some degree so that is not alarming. If ultrasound also was necessary I think it would be a good idea to have MRI breast scans too in...
Breast Cancer: Mammography/Ultrasound difference, needle biopsies, breast scans
needle biopsies, breast scans, screening mammogram: Mammography & ultrasound are in principle different modalities so they show different things. So this situation is not uncommon. In unclear cases like this also MRI breast scans can be of value. You are quite right. I see no reason for your wife to have to...
Breast Cancer: recurrent calcifiations everywhere in breast, breast cancer survivor, needle biopsy
breast cancer survivor, needle biopsy, biospy: With all these calcifications your mammographies should be complemented with MRI breast scans in order to get more information of your breast condition. In this particular case I also think that this new cluster should be checked with a needle biopsy so that...
Breast Cancer: recurrent cancer, recurrent cancer, fruits and vegetables
recurrent cancer, fruits and vegetables, raw fruits: Unfortunately in this situation her cancer can not at present be cured and her prognosis is bad though her cancer may be possible to control for at least some time. For how long is impossible to tell, especially as oncology is making progress all the time....
Breast Cancer: Ascites, upper abdomen, hospital consultant
upper abdomen, hospital consultant, various tests: Well, in order to do this you have to tell me what has been done in her case in order to find the reason for this. Cancer is one of the obvious reasons for this condition (there are others too) so I m sure her drs. have looked into that. But if you can tell...
Breast Cancer: asymmetric breast density, stereotactic needle biopsy, breast density
stereotactic needle biopsy, breast density, abnormal mammogram: This only means that it does not look the same in the 2 sides of the breast. If necessary a stereotactic needle biopsy should be able to tell what it is. An MRI breast scan may also be of value. If in your shoes I would not be too worried as this may have...
Breast Cancer: Bi-rad3 why send me to G/Surgeon, needle biopsies, clock measures
needle biopsies, clock measures, left breast: Well, I m a Swede living in Sweden so the US health care system is a mystery to me too. However, yes the risk of malignancy is low but based on what information you have given me it can not be excluded. So in order to be safe rather than perhaps sorry I think...
Breast Cancer: Breast lump, fibrocystic breast condition, fibrocystic breasts
fibrocystic breast condition, fibrocystic breasts, breast scans: Your symptoms are compatible with a fibrocystic breast condition. Fibrocystic breasts are difficult to monitor due to all the lumps. Mammography should be complemented with BOTH ultrasound breast scans AND MRI breast scans! Any unclear lesions seen should...
Breast Cancer: Breast lump, fibrocystic breast condition, lumpy breasts
fibrocystic breast condition, lumpy breasts, breast lump: There is no real difference between a lump and a nodule. I have no objection to what your second dr. is planning. Both your drs. believe this not to be dangerous and just a sign of a fibrocystic breast condition. So there is most probably no reason to worry!...
Breast Cancer: birad 4,etc.., density mass, medical dictionaries
density mass, medical dictionaries, medical appointment: The reason you can not get more information is that the so called diagnosis you mention really does not contain much information. The first diagnosis translated to everyday English just means an expanded mass behind the left nipple , the second means a mass...
Breast Cancer: breast discharge, needle biopsies, breast discharge
needle biopsies, breast discharge, check ups: I doubt very much that this discharge is dangerous in any way. If your breasts are very lumpy mammography should ALWAYS be complemented with BOTH ultrasound AND MRI scans. Any unclear things seen should be checked with needle biopsies (unfortunately not available...
Breast Cancer: conflicting biopsy results, core biopsy, biopsy results
core biopsy, biopsy results, surgical biopsies: Both core and FNA biopsies are usually VERY reliable - in trained hands. But of course mishaps are not completely unknown. Here we are dealing with 2 different lesions too. I have no other explanation at present. I do agree that surgical biopsies of both lesions...
Breast Cancer: DES exposure, risk for breast cancer, cervix cancer
risk for breast cancer, cervix cancer, living in sweden: You are at risk for adenocarcinoma of your vagina and of your cervix (though the risk of that cervix cancer may have decreased now at your present age and above). There is as far as is known at present NO increased risk for breast cancer of any kind. An...
Breast Cancer: conflicting biopsy results, lumps, thieves
Breast Cancer: conflicting biopsy results, lumps, thieves, clue
Breast Cancer: kidney cancer -2001, breast cancer 2007, routine mammogram, kidney cancer
routine mammogram, kidney cancer, breast cancer: These 2 cancers are completely unrelated. Such coincidences are unusual but they do happen sometimes. This does not in itself increase your risks from each of them but of course the fact that you have had 2 primary cancers does to some extent increase your...
Breast Cancer: lump found under arm above armpit, breast cancer survivor, needle aspiration biopsy
breast cancer survivor, needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration: Well I would have ordered a thin /fine needle aspiration biopsy at once to find out what that lump is to see if your breast cancer was involved in any way. It is such an easy, quick and simple procedure that I do not understand why you should have to wait...
Breast Cancer: 'lump in tail of breast', needle aspiration biopsy, breast cancer risk
needle aspiration biopsy, breast cancer risk, breast cancer: I can not understand why he did not 1. send you directly to the breast department and 2. arrange for you to have mammography so that would be done when you get there. You obviously run a certain breast cancer risk due to your family history and since you are...
Breast Cancer: Masectomy decision timing before radiation, needle biopsies, breast cancers
needle biopsies, breast cancers, hormone receptors: This is a difficult question to answer. Yes a mastectomy would almost completely eliminate the risk of new breast cancers - on THAT side! To almost eliminate the risks on BOTH sides you would need to do mastectomies on BOTH sides! The choice must be yours....
Breast Cancer: necessity of mamograms, female breast cancer, male breast cancer
female breast cancer, male breast cancer, risk factors for breast cancer: Well, you may not have EXTRA risk factors for breast cancer. BUT ALL women have risk factors for breast cancer just by being women! Breast cancer exist in males too, but there it is VERY rare. Female breast cancer is HUNDREDS of times more common. Meaning...
Breast Cancer: OPEN BIOPSY, stage breast cancer, situ cancers
stage breast cancer, situ cancers, open biopsy: Well a fibroadenoma does look like a non dangerous tumor (like a fibroadenoma) BUT you can NOT be sure until microscopy is done. No you can not work with a microscope like that. The material has to be sliced in THIN slices (which in turn requires either freezing...
Breast Cancer: Pathology Report, pathology report, breast cancer
pathology report, breast cancer, genetic origin: The sclerosing part is not associated with cancer. The multifocal ductal hyperplasia with the atypias mean that you have precancerous processes going on in several places. That like the her2 are probably of genetic origin and probably will increase your risk...
Breast Cancer: Pathology Report, tumor pathology, ductal carcinoma
tumor pathology, ductal carcinoma, pathology report: Well extensive ductal carcinoma in situ (= stage 0) means that you have a lot of early cancer restricted to its point of origin in milk ducts. It is of low and intermidiate grade meaning that it does not seem to be very malignant. That is good news as is the...
Breast Cancer: pathology report, stereotactic needle biopsy, breast cancer risks
stereotactic needle biopsy, breast cancer risks, fibrocystic breast condition: 1. A stereotactic needle biopsy is one of several basic methods of obtaining a breast biopsy without any real surgery. Another is ultrasound guided needle biopsy. So probably both methods could have been used in your case. Probably your surgeon thought that...
Breast Cancer: please help me, hypoechoic nodule, needle biopsies
hypoechoic nodule, needle biopsies, breast specialist: The cyst is probably NOT malignant and can explain your pain there. What the nodule is can not be decided from this. It is not big. At your age the probability of breast cancer is small but not impossible. I suggest ultrasound guided needle biopsies of both...
Breast Cancer: radiation and mastectomy, cancer cells, sentinel node
cancer cells, sentinel node, cancer case: Neither chemo therapy alone nor radiation therapy alone can guarantee a complete kill off of all cancer cells - nor a combination of them. BUT a combination does have better chances of doing so! So were I in your shoes I would accept the radiation therapy...
Breast Cancer: Second Opinion giving different advice, micro calcifications, diagnostic mamogram
micro calcifications, diagnostic mamogram, micro calcification: Well I have not seen your pictures myself. But evidently the second hospital seems to follow a better safe than sorry attitude and I can not find anything wrong with that in principle. If done as a needle biopsy the invasion is minimal. So I do suggest...
Breast Cancer: solid mass in the breast, stereotactic needle biopsy, needle biopsies
stereotactic needle biopsy, needle biopsies, surgical biopsies: The solid masses are easiest for you checked with ultrasound guided needle biopsies. I see NO reason for doing surgical biopsies if needle biopsies are available. Also the calcification area can most probably be checked with the same ultrasound guided needle...
Breast Cancer: my survival based upon this pathology report, old black women, ductal carcinoma
old black women, ductal carcinoma, pathology report: Well, I ll try to explain my position on this. Statistics and probabilities are all very well when you are dealing with large numbers of cases. Then you can tell with a high degree of accuracy how many that will survive for a specific time based on past experience....
Breast Cancer: TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER, lymph node involvement, reoccurance
lymph node involvement, reoccurance, breast cancer: Well, oncology is moving forward all the time. That makes it more or less impossible to predict the future, especially in single cases like yours. Statistics works for big numbers, not for single cases where you either is a success or not. It seem however...
Breast Cancer: Biopsy Results... Should I be concerned?, core biopsy, biopsy results
core biopsy, biopsy results, surgical biopsy: You are correct. This includes an EARLY precursor to a cancer, but there is NO cancer at present. I suppose that the specialist will suggest that it should be removed. That will remove the pain as well. You could wait and see too, but since it causes you immediate...
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer+HER2, invasive ductal carcinoma, ductal cells
invasive ductal carcinoma, ductal cells, biopsy report: Thanks! I meant hormonal therapy at the end. It s a pity your surgeon did not make a sentinel lymph node biopsy. To be on the safe side I think you should (and probably radiation therapy too). Yes Herceptin is probably necessary but apart from that comment...
Breast Cancer: Breast lumps, breast lumps, needle biopsies
breast lumps, needle biopsies, needle biopsy: Your remaining breast lump and the one in your arm pit should all be checked with needle biopsies to find out what they are! Please do keep me posted! I m sorry to bother you with an appeal for help. I know that it is exactly the opposite of what you expect...
Breast Cancer: Bumps on the Nipple, sebaceous glands, history of breast cancer
sebaceous glands, history of breast cancer, breast cancer: What you have seen are completely normal sebaceous glands in the areola of your nipple. So what you have squeezed out is completely normal sebaceous excretion. This is NOT dangerous and has nothing to do with breast cancer. Normally mammography is started...
Breast Cancer: no go biospy, incisional biopsy, surgical biopsy
incisional biopsy, surgical biopsy, ultrasound guidance: Yes probably! So try some other place! Good luck! I m sorry to bother you with an appeal for help. I know that it is exactly the opposite of what you expect from a volunteer at AllExperts. But I really have nowhere else to turn, except to the people whom...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer, e mail address, cancer doc
e mail address, cancer doc, breast cancer: Not in the long run so far. But therapy is progressing. I m sorry to bother you with an appeal for help. I know that it is exactly the opposite of what you expect from a volunteer at AllExperts. But I really have nowhere else to turn, except to the people...
Breast Cancer: breast lumps, fibrocystic breast condition, symptom of breast cancer
fibrocystic breast condition, symptom of breast cancer, breast lumps: You probably have a fibrocystic breast condition which in itself has nothing to do with breast cancer and is not dangerous. But its presence makes breast cancer somewhat more difficult to detect! Since you also have breast cancer in your family it is important...
Breast Cancer: Chemo and Cold Caps, theoretical risk, oral cancer
theoretical risk, oral cancer, mouth sores: The risk by using cold caps is more a theoretical risk than one based on experience. But some ARE worried by that theoretical risk. However cold caps are not always effective either in preserving hair. Ice in your mouth does have some similarities with cold...
Breast Cancer: chemotherapy, lab test results, back seat driver
lab test results, back seat driver, genetic disposition: Again you SHOULD discuss this with your dr.! Yes since your hormonal receptor tests are negative there is no point in any (anti) hormonal therapy. Yes your daughter MAY have inherited a genetic disposition for developing breast cancer (but it is NOT certain)...
Breast Cancer: Bumps on the Nipple, montgomery tubercles, excess oil
Breast Cancer: Bumps on the Nipple, montgomery tubercles, excess oil, white stuff
Breast Cancer: male nipple discharge, breast scans, galactogram
breast scans, galactogram, prolactin test: This sometimes happen (rarely in males more common in females). Unless there is blood in the discharge it is usually not a sign of any cancer. To check it more thoroughly you could have a galactogram done (a mammogram with x-ray contrast injected into the...
Breast Cancer: microcalcifications, needle biopsy, cancer doctor
needle biopsy, cancer doctor, radition: There IS some merit to that suggestion since you most probably run an increased risk of breast cancer in both of your breasts. However, the choice must be yours. I m sorry to bother you with an appeal for help. I know that it is exactly the opposite of...
Breast Cancer: Need for radiation after mastectomy and chemo, sentinel node biopsy, negative margins
sentinel node biopsy, negative margins, pathology report: Her little skin cancer does not change anything. Dear Laura, I have to remind you that her problem is not her radiation therapy it is her breast cancer - which was rather big too and had spread to a lymph node! So you must keep your priorities straight! Yes...
Breast Cancer: New Mass contralateral breast, fine needle aspiration, fine needle aspiration biopsies
fine needle aspiration, fine needle aspiration biopsies, needle biopsies: Well the choice is of course yours. A bilateral mastectomy is hardly something that will happen without some pain. If more than Tylenol can take care of I do not know, too big individual differences for me to be able to predict that! You should discuss this...
Breast Cancer: Post Ultrasound Question, fibrocystic breast condition, birth control pills
fibrocystic breast condition, birth control pills, benign lumps: In order to confirm that these 2 lesions are fibroadenomas and therefore not dangerous I suggest that you demand ultrasound guided needle biopsies of them. I do not think your caffeine habits have anything to do with this. Your birth control pills may have...
Breast Cancer: pagets disease of the breast, medical oncologist, paget s disease
medical oncologist, paget s disease, radiation treatment: ANY medical oncologist in your area should know enough of both Paget s disease of the nipple (that British gentleman has also a bone disease named after him)and of lymphoma to be able to help you with this kind of check up. I m a Swede living in Sweden so...
Breast Cancer: do I really need radiotherapy?, marker place, core biopsy
marker place, core biopsy, wire marker: Yes radiation can cause cancer BUT also cure it! Cancer cells are often more sensitive to radiation than normal cells. Yes radiation can cause a temporary inflammation in your lung tissues and in your skin (like a sun burn) but it is temporary! And usually...
Breast Cancer: Stage IV survival, brain tumors, head ache
brain tumors, head ache, survival times: Unfortunately with metastases of her breast cancer in her brain we must realistically consider her remaining survival time to be measured in months rather than years but there is always a lot of uncertainty when we try to predict survival times. She will become...
Breast Cancer: triple negative breast cancer, breast carcinoma, distant metastases
breast carcinoma, distant metastases, cancer question: Ok, so it WAS planned. You just had not mentioned it in that context. I would probably have planned any radiation before chemo. But there are no firm rules on that point. It depends on the condition of the patient too. To do it at the same time may be pushing...
Breast Cancer: HE, e mail address, cancer doc
e mail address, cancer doc, fish test: Both should be done. It is usually given for one year. Good luck! I m sorry to bother you with an appeal for help. I know that it is exactly the opposite of what you expect from a volunteer at AllExperts. But I really have nowhere else to turn, except...
Breast Cancer: 29 years old just found out I have breast cancer, no family history - ?, invasive breast cancer, breast surgeon
invasive breast cancer, breast surgeon, old breast: I m sorry to hear of your problem! The youngest breast cancer patient I have seen was 23! That was more than 30 years ago. As far as I can remember she did not have any family history either. With regards to your friend it is a fact that if you have had a...
Breast Cancer: 6 month follow up, needle biopsies, hypoechoic solid nodule
needle biopsies, hypoechoic solid nodule, needle biopsy: Yes you are right! All suspect lesions should be subjected to biopsies. I think you should push for them but if that does not work go to the oncologist! Good luck! I m sorry to bother you with an appeal for help. I know that it is exactly the opposite of...
Breast Cancer: Breast Cancer, lymph node involvement, upper palate
lymph node involvement, upper palate, cancer stage: Well, the choice is yours so it is your decision! But you are asking me! If the choice was mine I would accept chemo therapy! A difference of almost 9% is actually quite a lot and with a triple negative tumor (anti) hormonal therapy is not possible so your...
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer in an 86 year old woman, simple mastectomy, breast ca
simple mastectomy, breast ca, treatment regime: Well whatever your intentions were you did not just appear rude, you were rude! And that is something I never accept, as I think you have understood from my response. However that is behind us now. I interpret your reply as an apology and it is certainly accepted...
Breast Cancer: Breast MRI's, dense breast tissue, breast mri
dense breast tissue, breast mri, mri work: Yes it is! Mammography, ultrasound & MRI are different methods, none is perfect but each have different advantages & disadvantages (though ultrasound & MRI work better in dense breasts). So a combined use give us a better total picture. Better a false positive...
Breast Cancer: Breast pain spreading to back and arm, fibrocystic breast condition, pain in left breast
fibrocystic breast condition, pain in left breast, breast scans: These symptoms most probably have nothing to do with breast cancer in any way. To me it sounds like a fibrocystic breast condition (which is not dangerous) combined with shoulder problems. This could be better checked with MRI breast scans and shoulder scans...
Breast Cancer: blurred vision after mastectomy, eye specialist, breast cancer
eye specialist, breast cancer, mri scan: If an MRI scan does not show anything this has nothing to do with your breast cancer. A CT scan can in this case not show anything that has not already been shown by your MRI scan. For the rest of your question you must direct it to your neurologist since...
Breast Cancer: bone mets, infiltrating ductal carcinoma, bone metastases
infiltrating ductal carcinoma, bone metastases, bone mets: Yes if indeed you have bone metastases it is indeed a matter of concern. Your broken ribs are perhaps not much of a concern and maybe not the one in your SI-joint. Those may have other explanations but the other 2 hot spots should be at least. Probably you...
Breast Cancer: breast ca, core needle biopsy, needle aspiration biopsy
core needle biopsy, needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration: A better picture of her breast tissues in this situation can be obtained with an MRI breast scan of her breasts. Only those lesions that also in these MRI scans look suspect will then need a fine/thin needle aspiration biopsy or a core needle biopsy. Good...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer, needle biopsies, finnish roots
needle biopsies, finnish roots, blighted ovum: Though at your age a breast cancer is certainly quite possible your description of your problems make me think that this is probably not a cancer but a hormonal effect on your breast tissues, Though of course I can not guarantee that. A combination of mammography,...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer, stereotactic needle biopsy, letter in the mail
stereotactic needle biopsy, letter in the mail, cancer question: Honestly I can not know! To be able to answer I would need to have ESP ability which I do not have - and in my opinion no one has! I do recommend that this ultrasound scan is done and if things are still unclear that 1. a breast MRI scan is done and 2. a stereotactic...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer/ adenopathie/prognosis, adeno carcinome, breast cancer
adeno carcinome, breast cancer, survival rate: Well it is not just a matter of 2 or 3 lymph nodes, it is the fact that it HAS spread to lymph nodes - but of course it is worse if they are many. It is also a matter of tumour size and 2.5 cm is rather big and also the GRADE of the tumour based on its pathology....
Breast Cancer: breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer diagnosis, lesion morphology
breast cancer diagnosis, lesion morphology, bloody nipple discharge: These reports are most probably quite accurate. Well since the cytology reports and the histopathology reports are examining different things differences are to be expected. In this situation actions should be guided by the histopathology reports! If you put...
Breast Cancer: Core biopsy results, core biopsy, stereotactic biopsy
core biopsy, stereotactic biopsy, biopsy results: Thanks! I think your breasts - due to their lumpyness should be regularly checked - once per year or so - with a combination of mammography, ultrasound breast scans and MRI breast scans. If anything unclear is seen it should be checked with at least needle...
Breast Cancer: elongated nipple, self breast examination, needle biopsy
self breast examination, needle biopsy, asymetrical breasts: Aha, you are pregnant, congratulations! However that eliminates the possibility of mammography. But needle biopsies (by touch or by ultrasound guidance) are like ultrasound scans still possible. Without an examination I can not with any certainty confirm or...
Breast Cancer: 29 years old just found out I have breast cancer, no family history - ?, stage 3, biopsy
Breast Cancer: 29 years old just found out I have breast cancer, no family history - ?, stage 3, biopsy, treatment options
Breast Cancer: follow up to question on 7/6/08, biopsy material, atypical cells
biopsy material, atypical cells, fibroadenoma: Well, as far as I can interpret this answer it is that it is from a lesion that on ultrasound looks like a fibroadenoma. In the biopsy material all that is seen are signs of fibrosis. There is NO mention of anything suspected of perhaps indicating a malignancy,...
Breast Cancer: inflammatory breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, inflammatory cancer
inflammatory breast cancer, inflammatory cancer, shoulder blade: While I can not exclude the possibility of an inflammatory breast cancer without examining you I think that your symptoms (with pain also going to your shoulder blade) are far more likely to be caused by a mechanical inflammation in your shoulder. But you...
Breast Cancer: Lymphatic fluid discharge, lymph drainage, necessary operation
lymph drainage, necessary operation, blood circulation: Unfortunately not. By removing her lymph nodes in her arm pit (a necessary operation in order to find out if her cancer had spread to that location) a large part of her lymph drainage from her arm was blocked (lymph fluid is continuously being filtered out...
Breast Cancer: mamo vs thermo, thermogram, breast tissue
thermogram, breast tissue, mamogram: There is a good reason why you have not heard much of it, it does not work very well! Thermography was tried out extensively already in the 1970 ies based on the fact that cancers have a higher metabolism than normal tissues and therefore are somewhat warmer...
Breast Cancer: Patchy breast tissue, stereotactic needle biopsy, breast scans
stereotactic needle biopsy, breast scans, breast tissue: Well, since I have not seen your pictures I can not be sure. But it seems there was an area of uneven density. If that is a matter of great concern is another matter. Evidently the concern can not be great or they would not have suggested such a long time...
Breast Cancer: repeat mammogram, mammography reports, biopsy
mammography reports, biopsy: Well it just means that they have seen something out of the ordinary. What that may be I do not know - only those who have called you back would know why they do it but not necessarily what it is yet. Please send me your mammography reports (copy them here)...
Breast Cancer: Secondary bone cancer following breast cancer, secondary bone cancer, bone marrow transplantation
secondary bone cancer, bone marrow transplantation, bone marrow transplant: Well not at present anyway. In theory bone marrow transplantation could be used after such a strong chemo therapy treatment that the bone marrow of the patient would be completely destroyed. As far as I know it has however never been done in this situation....
Breast Cancer: 3D ultrasound vs. MRT?, dense breast tissue, needle biopsies
dense breast tissue, needle biopsies, suspicious tissue: These are 2 different methods that work by different principles. Both have their advantages and disadvantages BUT they are different. So my recommendation would be to combine them! The combination should also include standard mammograms and anything unclear...
Breast Cancer: Bi-Rads 4 finding, stereotactic core biopsy, birad 4
stereotactic core biopsy, birad 4, mamogram: I agree with the radiology dr. If you have seen something that looks like BIRAD 4 and the biopsy just shows fat then it is probable that the biopsy did not hit the right spot. An MRI breast scan is probably the best thing you can do right now. If anything...
Breast Cancer: BiRads 3 Dense breast tissue, dense breast tissue, benign breast changes
dense breast tissue, benign breast changes, breast scans: Yes an asymmetrical finding is probably benign but in order to be sure and not have to wait I think other methods like those I have described should be used! AND dense breasts are not good targets for mammography alone! There I think she was wrong - if I...
Breast Cancer: Breast Tumor Question, total hysterectomy, breast tumor
total hysterectomy, breast tumor, breast problems: I do not agree with your dr. For YOU it is important to know your diagnosis as soon as possible! And that should be respected! The for you easiest, simplest & quickest way to have this important biopsy is as a needle biopsy! Insist to have it done ASAP! Probably...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer reoccurance or new primary?, breast cancer reoccurance, brca 1
breast cancer reoccurance, brca 1, excisional biopsy: This IS a hard question and finally it must be you who makes the decision. While I do understand why your dr. is recommending these actions I can still not avoid thinking they are drastic. She may be right though and I may be wrong. However since no more radiation...
Breast Cancer: breast pathology report, breast ultrasound, breast pathology
breast ultrasound, breast pathology, epithelial hyperplasia: Stromal fibrosis and fibroadenoma are closely related. The hyperplasia in the 11:30 lesion is a light and very early precursor - perhaps - to cancer so maybe it is best to have that lesion surgically removed to be on the safe side. But I m not sure that it...
Breast Cancer: CBC and fatigue after cancer, blood iron levels, mid back pain
blood iron levels, mid back pain, lobular breast cancer: At the moment and before there is no sure anemia or any certain sign of iron deficiency. There is also no obvious pathology in the levels you have presented (but there are no blood iron levels etc. presented either). I doubt too that your symptoms have anything...
Breast Cancer: Is a complex breast nodule something to worry about?, hypoechoic nodule, lymph node biopsy
hypoechoic nodule, lymph node biopsy, doppler measurement: Dear Teresa, the main reason why biopsies are suggested is that the information given in this report is NOT enough for a sure diagnosis! With regards to the nodule it means that you get a mixed echo back to the machine with both strong echoes and weakened...
Breast Cancer: I found an odd thing on my breast, blood blister, breast cancer
blood blister, breast cancer, birth mark: Your mother is right! These things are NOT dangerous and have nothing to do with breast cancer! They are 2 variations of the same thing. If you want more details of this you have to discuss it with an expert of dermatology (skin medicine) here as they are...
Breast Cancer: gene test, breast cancer cases, breast cancer gene
breast cancer cases, breast cancer gene, history of breast cancer: If you are prepared to pay most things can be arranged, but it will not be cheap! Also, most breast cancer cases still have no known genetic link so even if nothing is found there is yet no guarantee that you will not get breast cancer at some time in life....
Breast Cancer: lump in right breast - USG tru cut biopsy done - report not yet come, upper quadrant, breast cancer
upper quadrant, breast cancer, surgery thanks: It is probably due to the biopsy. If you are cured by the treatment you would have a normal life span ahead of you. Without any surgery or treatment is impossible to say, depends on the growth rate and spreading tendency of a cancer - if indeed you have one...
Breast Cancer: other q from reoccurance or new primary, estrogen drugs, reoccurance
estrogen drugs, reoccurance, screening methods: That is something you MUST discuss with your own dr. who is in charge of your treatment. Well technology moves so quickly with regards to these methods that I m hesitant in giving any firm recommendations. I prefer to let your dr. take care of that. ...
Breast Cancer: Questions, symptoms of breast cancer, what are the symptoms of breast cancer
symptoms of breast cancer, what are the symptoms of breast cancer, cancer breast: Breast cancer is not an infection. If you get it you develop it over time (takes actually quite some time). The older you get the higher the risk - like with most cancers. There are certain genetic factors involved so if you have it in your family you usually...
Breast Cancer: query regarding pain in breast, pain in breast, breast pain
pain in breast, breast pain, menstrual periods: Breast pain in association with the menstrual periods is very common. Nipple discharge is also not uncommon. If bot bloody it is usually not dangerous. But you are obviously worried. Let a dr. check you! What is unclear? Please clarify & I ll explain. ...
Breast Cancer: Steriotactic Breast Biopsy, breast biopsy, breast implants
breast biopsy, breast implants, calcium deposits: Well all radiation can cause cancer just as it can treat cancers. But usually that happens a LONG time after exposure. When were you treated? Your previous radiation may be a complication though if any more radiation should be planned. They most probably should...
Breast Cancer: BI-RADS 4 based on MRI, breast doctor, breast discharge
breast doctor, breast discharge, history of breast cancer: I suppose it is a 8mmx8mmx8mm nodule? Correct? BIRAD 4 unfortunately means quite a large probability that it is cancerous (but not a certainty). Based on that AND your family history of breast cancer, but not much on your breast discharge, a biopsy is NECESSARY,...
Breast Cancer: breast cancer, enlarged lymph node, hypoechoic lesion
enlarged lymph node, hypoechoic lesion, breast nodule: Why not? A mammography should always be done. Cancer is ALWAYS a serious disease. It MUST be taken care of urgently! So it should be taken care of as quickly as possible! If taken care of promptly survival chances are probably good, but we will not know that...
Breast Cancer: Calcification in Mammogram, needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration
needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration, one of the pioneers: Her dr. probably wants it done to be on the safe side since the lesion has become more prominent over one year. A BIRAD evaluation is a probability evaluation it is NOT a pathology report. A former boss of mine, the late Professor Dr. Sixten Franzén, M.D.,...
Breast Cancer: concerned, core biopsy, architectural distortion
core biopsy, architectural distortion, fat necrosis: While I can not à priori rule out the possibility of a local recurrence I think it is unlikely. If it is benign there is no factual basis for a mastectomy. If based only on fear of the return of any cancer there, then you probably also would have to consider...
Breast Cancer: Delayed DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery, diep flap, delayed diep flap
diep flap, delayed diep flap, delayed breast reconstruction: Dear Nancie, If you know at this point that you will be seeking breast reconstruction surgery down the road I would definitely recommend a skin-sparing mastectomy. Skin-sparing mastectomy generally allows for a much better cosmetic reconstruction result,...
Breast Cancer: neck lumps post breast cancer, breast cancer recurrence, reactive lymphoid hyperplasia
breast cancer recurrence, reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, thyroid nodules: A benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia is not connected with your breastcancer and is not considered to be connected with any lymphoma tendency. But should more enlarged lymph nodes appear you should have them checked by biopsies (easiest & simplest - and...
Breast Cancer: radiation and asthma, radiation fields, air ways
radiation fields, air ways, better breathing: Dear Janice, I answer so many questions here so I do not even remember that particular answer of mine! Please tell me the dates of the question and my answer so that I may be able to check it! Basically though asthma is an inflammatory process in the airways....
Breast Cancer: radiation and chemo after mastectomy, distant organs, ductal carcinoma
distant organs, ductal carcinoma, pathology report: I answered Q1 in my second response last time! Since there are many different possible schemes and I do not know which one of them her dr. will choose it is unfortunately impossible for me to answer that. Only her dr. can do that. Q2. Oh it can come back...
Breast Cancer: re left breast pain, breast scans, breast pain
breast scans, breast pain, breast cancer: I can only tell you that pain is not a common symptom with breast cancer. You mention that a dr. has examined you and could not find anything. That is good, it decreases your risk of a cancer even more. But in order to be sure it is not enough. The examination...
Breast Cancer: sebaceous glands in the breast, breast cancer survivor, sebaceous glands
breast cancer survivor, sebaceous glands, ductal carcinoma: Well a cancer could hardly spread via the nipple from a milk duct to a sebaceous gland since that would involve transportation ON THE OUTSIDE of the skin and INTO a sebaceous gland from the outside. Such a thing would be MOST unlikely to say the least! Cancer...
Breast Cancer: sharp pains, breast cancer risk, breast cancer
breast cancer risk, breast cancer, sign of breast cancer: At your age breast cancer is almost unheard of. So any breast cancer risk at your age would be microscopically small. Even so some of your symptoms should be checked by a dr. while the rest probably are due to normal hormonal changes. But I do not think you...
Breast Cancer: Trigger finger, tendovaginitis, breast cancer
tendovaginitis, breast cancer, orthopedist: This question is probably best answered by an orthopedic surgeon since it probably is outside my area of expertise here. Is what she has what an orthopedist would call a tendovaginitis? What kind of treatment has she received? Antiinflammatory medication?...
Breast Cancer: BI RAD 4, palpable nodule, diagnostic radiologist
palpable nodule, diagnostic radiologist, medical oncologist: You are welcome. Thanks! Yes I was. But I m a medical oncologist & radiation therapist NOT a diagnostic radiologist so that is outside my field of expertise here! On the other hand I have not seen anything contradicting the opinion of your radiologist. ...
Breast Cancer: Breast shadows, needle biopsies, heart diease
needle biopsies, heart diease, chest cavity: I think you should insist on having your mammography & ultrasound breast scans complemented with MRI breast scans AND needle biopsies (stereotactic or ultrasound or MRI guided) of anything seen that is still unclear. That way we will KNOW what it is you have...
Breast Cancer: breastcancer, breast cancer risk, beer drinker
breast cancer risk, beer drinker, breast cancer: Heavy drinking (including beer & wine) can harm the liver so that excessive amounts of estrogen will build up (the liver normally breaks down estrogen). That MAY increase your breast cancer risk. But I have not seen any statistics on that. If you drink that...
Breast Cancer: Complex Sclerosing Lesion, core needle biopsy, radial scar
core needle biopsy, radial scar, core biopsy: Yes that is small enough for a lumpectomy if that is what is planned. I do not think you can hope for it to shrink away and disappear, even with Arimidex therapy. LCIS is in my textbooks a cancer in situ or in other terms a cancer stage 0! So it IS indeed...
Breast Cancer: cobalt radiation, kenya nairobi, nairobi kenya
kenya nairobi, nairobi kenya, lung tissues: I suspect, since you live in Kenya (Nairobi?), that that machine has been there since it was brought there by Professor Dr. Folke Edsmyr, M.D., Ph.D. (with whom I have worked, but not in Kenya) from my native Stockholm, Sweden for a research project on Burkitt...
Breast Cancer: cough and radiation, sentinel node biopsy, lymph node involvement
sentinel node biopsy, lymph node involvement, chronic cough: I agree that it is unlikely that your cough has anything to do with either your radiation therapy or your breast cancer. However that statement also puts it outside my area of expertise here since as by my contract I m here ONLY as a cancer dr.! I strongly...
Breast Cancer: Complex Sclerosing Lesion, non invasive cancer, mass lesion
Breast Cancer: Complex Sclerosing Lesion, non invasive cancer, mass lesion, types of cancers
Breast Cancer: cobalt radiation, living proof, breast cancer
Breast Cancer: cobalt radiation, living proof, breast cancer, best of luck
Breast Cancer: femara, chinese medical practitioner, taking a risk
Breast Cancer: femara, chinese medical practitioner, taking a risk, wholistic
Breast Cancer: femara, breast cancer survivor, cayenne pepper
breast cancer survivor, cayenne pepper, lemonade diet: I have no idea if this affects your Femara medication or not. I do not think anyone knows. But why on earth start with this strange scheme?! It is OBVIOUSLY based on some false notions! In what way will it clean your system? And from what? Why at all risk...
Breast Cancer: IDC?, sentinel lymph node, sentinel node biopsy
sentinel lymph node, sentinel node biopsy, sentinel lymph node biopsy: If the diagnosis really was DCIS it was a cancer in situ (= cancer in the site of origin ) or cancer stage 0. In that case he can hardly have meant an invasion of 1.5 mm since a cancer in situ is NOT invading - in fact that is the definition of a cancer in...
Breast Cancer: Lumps under arm, needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration
needle aspiration biopsy, fine needle aspiration, fine needle aspiration biopsy: If it is done as a fine/thin needle aspiration biopsy or as several such biopsies as mentioned above there is no need for any surgery. Such a biopsy is no more complicated than an injection! However if that is not available where you are then a surgical biopsy...
Breast Cancer: lump in breast, microcytic hypochromic anemia, multinucleated giant cells
microcytic hypochromic anemia, multinucleated giant cells, pus cells: Dear colleague, this is obviously NOT a cancer but at least partly an infection/inflammation - maybe in a fibrocystic area of her breast. On this site I ONLY deal with cancer cases because that is my specialty. So I strongly suggest that you discuss this with...
Breast Cancer: Mammo & Ultrasound Results, core needle biopsy, upper outer quadrant
core needle biopsy, upper outer quadrant, stereotactic core needle biopsy: The important findings here both in the mammography results and the ultrasound scan results that you have provided are such as to conclude that the lesion in your upper outer part of your right breast MAY be a cancer - NOT certain. To be sure what it is a...
Breast Cancer: mammogram, breast cancer cases, breast cancer
breast cancer cases, breast cancer, risk families: That depends on your risk profile. For women in general I usually say around 40 years of age. For women from high risk families (many breast cancer cases in the immediate family) I usually recommend a start at the age of 30 and sometimes even earlier. But...
Breast Cancer: mamo report need more detail, breast scans, needle biopsy
breast scans, needle biopsy, spot compression: Yes it may be nothing but we do not KNOW that yet! It may also be something - yet unknown! It is in the upper left part of your left breast. If the new pictures and the ultrasound scan can not tell what it is I do suggest a needle biopsy (stereotactic or ultrasound...
Breast Cancer: my mom has breast cancer, breast cancer, exact time
breast cancer, exact time, stage 4: Impossible to tell you actually. Both tumors and patients are individuals not identical copies/clones. It depends very much on her particular tumor s rate of growth and tendency to metastasize (spread). On those points I have no information and probably neither...
Breast Cancer: mri report, family hx, mri report
family hx, mri report, scan report: It is impossible to give you some sort of percentage probability based only on the information in your question. If I had read her MRI breast scan report I MAY have been able to tell you more. However it is probable that this biopsy is done just to be on the...
Breast Cancer: Pathology Recommends Excision and Surgeon Does Not, excision biopsy, core biopsy
excision biopsy, core biopsy, surgical excision: It is difficult for me to go against the recommendation of your pathologist with regards to a surgical excision biopsy. I also feel tha a clear and sure diagnosis here is more important than some disfigurement that probably anyhow can be surgically corrected....
Breast Cancer: Radiotherapy, top priority, personal reasons
top priority, personal reasons, tumour: I think that you should give top priority to your treatment so do not delay it by any travel. On the other hand I can not guarantee that you will be fit for travel once your treatment is over. Unfortunately it is impossible to give you a better answer than...
Breast Cancer: radiology report Birad 4, hypoechoic nodule, punctate calcifications
hypoechoic nodule, punctate calcifications, irregular margins: The rest of your radiology report does not change anything except explaining why that area is suspected of being a cancer. It seems that your radiologist does not think that that lesion at 8.00. o clock is significant. But you can ask that a needle biopsy...
Breast Cancer: results on screening mammo, glandular tissues, dense breasts
glandular tissues, dense breasts, fibrous tissues: You have very dense breasts (= a lot of fibrous tissues and glandular tissues in your breasts, not dangerous in any way but it makes it hard to see details in mammography investigations). That means that it is hard to see everything in your breasts with just...
Breast Cancer: Update form previous Q & A, biopsy report, core biopsy
biopsy report, core biopsy, tumour necrosis: All of that are technicalities leading to the conclusion that you have 2 different invasive and maybe lobular cancers rather widely apart in your breast. This complicates matters. Had it been only one lesion a lumpectomy followed by radiation and maybe hormonal...
Breast Cancer: Worried, dense breast, birad
dense breast, birad, dotors: If your breasts are very dense (which is not uncommon in women your age) it is VERY difficult to conclude ANYTHING from your mammograms and we will have to rely on your ultrasound scans and MRI scans AND of course on a biopsy of your lesion which in this situation...
Breast Cancer: not sure, heart palpitation, heart palpitations
heart palpitation, heart palpitations, left breast: You are a male and only 18. So your risk of a breast cancer is truly very microscopically small! You may have a case of gynecomastia, which is not unheard of in young males. Let a surgeon check you! It is not dangerous. The heart is in the center but also...
Breast Cancer: My 91 Year Old Mother, congestive heart disease, simple mastectomy
congestive heart disease, simple mastectomy, urine incontinence: Well, I fail to see why the radiation therapy would be so difficult. Which breast are we discussing? Was not radiation therapy given the first time? If not why? In my opinion doing a lumpectomy and not giving postsurgical radiation therapy is malpractice unless...
Breast Cancer: Which Biopsy, core needle biopsy, needle aspiration biopsy
core needle biopsy, needle aspiration biopsy, dense breast tissue: Yes I do. I also think mastectomy should have been done at once. No lumpectomies in this situation! Presurgical radiation therapy was also a possibility but I think I would have preferred chemotherapy. I will not discuss precise medication since to do that...
Breast Cancer: Breast?, breast cancer, safe side
breast cancer, safe side, sensations: Well how old are you? Such sensations are not uncommon in women that are still menstruating and they have usually nothing to do with breast cancer. Early breast cancer only rarely gives any kind of similar symptoms. But to be on the safe side you even so should...
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer spread to lungs and bones, malignant brain tumors, stage 4 breast cancer
malignant brain tumors, stage 4 breast cancer, inoperable lung cancer: I m sorry for your loss of your daughter and brother and for the condition of your sister! Unfortunately it is quite difficult to predict the clinical course of any cancer with any real precision. In most cases it is close to impossible. The only real exception...
Breast Cancer: Breast MRI ?, needle biopsies, stockholm sweden
needle biopsies, stockholm sweden, wet cat: Well if I happened to be in your situation (and in THIS situation) I would probably INSIST ON/DEMAND that biopsies should be done on all those lesions! That one lesion is benign is no guarantee that another also will be. Sure they may ALL be benign but then...
Breast Cancer: Breast Papilloma, breast papilloma, core biopsy
breast papilloma, core biopsy, intraductal papilloma: Well a papilloma - if confirmed by the biopsy - is not malignant. But a papilloma can block milk ducts increasing risks of infections and inflammations there. So it is not just a matter of cancer or no cancer. That is however outside my area of expertise here...
Breast Cancer: breast ultrasound result, breast ultrasound, needle biopsy
breast ultrasound, needle biopsy, radiation therapy: In what way were they condescending? I never questioned your need to know and I answered your questions and continued (and continue) to do so. That you were scared was rather evident but that can hardly change my replies. I have to tell the truth all the time...
Breast Cancer: Caffeine and breast cancer, breast cancer, fibrocystic
breast cancer, fibrocystic, doing research: They are indeed inconclusive! So NO conclusions can be made from them at all! I refuse to give any advice on the subject but see no reason - with regards to this subject - why you can not drink beverages with caffeine if you want to in any amount you want...
Breast Cancer: Lump, lower abdomen, lump in my armpit
lower abdomen, lump in my armpit, lymph node: Since the lump in your armpit seems to be tender, sore & painful it probably has to do with an infection/inflammation and may be related to a lymph node. Without an examination it is impossible to evaluate your other issues in any way. I do suggest that you...
Breast Cancer: possible lumpectomy, needle biopsy, breast lump
needle biopsy, breast lump, clock position: What is standard procedure is actually different in different places. I would definitely order a needle biopsy of your lesion if I was in charge. But if there was any uncertainty in the report I would order its removal even if it was thought to be benign....
Breast Cancer: Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Breast, squamous cell carcinoma, core biopsy
squamous cell carcinoma, core biopsy, white blood cells: In this case the material was uterine. That can not with certainty be used for a breast tumor evaluation. Furthermore your lesion has already sent out metastases to your axillar lymph nodes. So it does have all the characteristics of an invasive cancer! When...
Breast Cancer: ultrasound experience, needle aspiration biopsy, breast doctor
needle aspiration biopsy, breast doctor, breast cancers: I think you should have a second ultrasound. If that does not show anything either there is most probably nothing dangerous there. If you can feel a lump there a touch guided fine/thin needle aspiration biopsy could also be of value. At your age breast cancer...

Breast Cancer: Breast MRI question, breasts enhancement, bilateral mastectomy
breasts enhancement, bilateral mastectomy, needle biopsies: The important thing here is that there is a risk of several other foci of cancer in situ (cancer stage 0) in both your breasts.

Breast Cancer: breast abnormality, needle biopsy, left breast
needle biopsy, left breast, fitness advice: It is possible and with uneven contours you can NOT be certain that it is not a cancer. To be SURE what it is I do suggest an ultrasound guided needle biopsy of that lesion! Good luck! I have some computer problems so unfortunately my reply is delayed....
Breast Cancer: breast mets, breast cancer, fitness advice
breast cancer, fitness advice, lymph node: Well it depends very much on WHERE these mets are. Not all mets are created equal. So some are more dangerous than others!

Breast Cancer: breast ultrasound results, breast ultrasound, intramammary lymph
breast ultrasound, intramammary lymph, ultrasound results: Well it is probably not a dangerous finding.

Breast Cancer: concerns...?, fibrocystic breast condition, breast mri
fibrocystic breast condition, breast mri, history of breast cancer: What you have is probably a fibrocystic breast condition based on your description. That is not dangerous. Mammography in very young women like you is often not conclusive, so if you want to be sure I suggest that you insist on breast MRI scans. Good luck!...
Breast Cancer: Dying of liver failure - mets from breast cancer, breast cancer metastases, liver tissues
breast cancer metastases, liver tissues, liver failure: If her liver fails she will become more and more jaundiced because her liver can no longer transport bilirubine (a break down product of the body s normal metabolism) from her blood to her bile ducts and gall bladder. So her bilirubine blood level will go...
Breast Cancer: Follow up - Estrogen & antioxidants, estrogen supplements, breast cancers
estrogen supplements, breast cancers, chemo treatments: Actually I do suggest that you wait with all antioxidant & vitamin therapy until your radiation therapy AND chemotherapy have been completely finished since they may interfere with these therapies!

Breast Cancer: Growth in Breast Calcifcation, core biopsy, calcifications
core biopsy, calcifications, mammogram: It is at least a sign that MUST be investigated! Biopsies are indeed NECESSARY! Ask to get the result by phone BY THE DOCTOR (so you can ask questions) ASAP! It is too early to ask anything else now. We will have to wait for the results. Please do keep me...
Breast Cancer: HAIR DYE ALLERGY & SENSITIZED?, fitness advice, laymans terms
fitness advice, laymans terms, hair dye: Well, thanks for the compliment! Sensitization means that by it you become allergic to some substance.

Breast Cancer: Hormone Therapy, invasive ductal carcinoma, chemo treatments
invasive ductal carcinoma, chemo treatments, pre menopausal: I believe that both your chemotherapy AND your radiation therapy as described ARE NECESSARY! I also believe that hormonal therapy in your case is a GOOD IDEA and NECESSARY! The harsh facts are that your primary problem is your cancer not so much any side effects!...
Breast Cancer: IHC Test result, infiltrating duct carcinoma, radical mastectomy
infiltrating duct carcinoma, radical mastectomy, hormone receptors: She has been treated for a breast cancer of medium malignancy originating in the inner lining of a milk duct. The tumour does not have any hormone receptors so any hormonal treatment of this is meaningless. Also there is no sign of any Her-2 which is good...
Breast Cancer: mastitis in nonlactating women, inflammatory breast cancer, sebaceous glands
inflammatory breast cancer, sebaceous glands, inflammatory carcinoma: A mastitis is a bacterial infection. The breast milk ducts open up the milk glands (actually transformed sweat glands) to the surrounding air, clothing etc. So infections (bacterial and other microbial infections) can indeed come in from the surroundings just...
Breast Cancer: Need to understand Mastectomy and Pathology Report, clear cell carcinoma, micro calcification
clear cell carcinoma, micro calcification, carcinoma cells: It is too early to evaluate her prognosis. We have to wait for her remaining test results. ALL cancers are serious!

Breast Cancer: Need to understand Mastectomy and Pathology Report, clear cell carcinoma, micro calcification
clear cell carcinoma, micro calcification, carcinoma cells: First of all. According to her mammography the tumor in her left breast was 23mmx25mm in size. So probably around 1 inch in all 3 dimensions. That is in my opinion (and obviously also in the opinion of her surgeon) too big for only a lumpectomy (surgical removal...
Breast Cancer: nipple discharge, bloody nipple discharge, atypical cells
bloody nipple discharge, atypical cells, cancer cells: Atypical cells are by definition at least on the way of becoming cancer cells! So they are a warning sign of a tumor development.

Breast Cancer: options, dense breast tissue, enlarged lymph nodes
dense breast tissue, enlarged lymph nodes, dense breasts: I m sorry that your insurance company has such a stupid and ignorant attitude (you MAY quote me if you want to).

Breast Cancer: Pain in the arm after Mastectomy., medical oncologist, radiation therapist
medical oncologist, radiation therapist, pain in the arm: It MAY be caused by nerve damage of some kind sustained during surgery. Let a neurologist check her pain.

Breast Cancer: Papilloma, medical oncologist, breast surgeon
medical oncologist, breast surgeon, galactogram: This is actually a question for a breast surgeon which I m not - I m a medical oncologist & radiation therapist.

Breast Cancer: breast cancer, left breast, fitness advice
left breast, fitness advice, pain thanks: I m sure these symptoms cause you to worry. So I think it is best that you let a doctor check you & your breasts.

Breast Cancer: breast intramammary lymphnode found, breast biopsy, enlarged lymph nodes
breast biopsy, enlarged lymph nodes, needle biopsies: Painful, sore & tender breast masses are usually not associated with breast cancer - though of course that is not a guarantee.

Breast Cancer: breast reconstruction problems, breast reconstruction problems, tissue expander
breast reconstruction problems, tissue expander, radiation: Dear Kaneohegirl, Yes, this is fairly common, particularly after lymph node surgery and radiation.

Breast Cancer: deep tissue bruise concerns, medical oncologist, cancer doctor
medical oncologist, cancer doctor, radiation therapist: What you describe seems to be the result of a trauma - a tissue injury due to some sort of accidental physical violence to your body. This is NOT a cancer situation. I m here ONLY as a cancer doctor. So your question is outside my area of expertise here. Your...
Breast Cancer: Fibroadenoma with ADH and ALH, breast biopsy, dense breasts

Breast Cancer: life expectancy, infiltrating ductal carcinoma, electron beams
infiltrating ductal carcinoma, electron beams, sharon donnelly: Well, it is unfortunately impossible to predict survival times with any accuracy.

Breast Cancer: Mammo/US results, upper outer quadrant, dense breast tissue
upper outer quadrant, dense breast tissue, needle biopsies: Well with dense breasts you should also have MRI breast scans to be more on the safe side and since there has been a change in evaluation I think stereotactically and ultrasound guided needle biopsies would be of value. I have some computer problems so...
Breast Cancer: Mamogram report, cutaneous lesion, cystic lesion
cutaneous lesion, cystic lesion, axillary nodes: No there is probably no connection. There are no cancer suspect lesions IN your breasts.
