Health Calendar·E-Questions and Answers丨National Cancer Prevention and Control Promotion Week: How to understand the breast report?

April 15 to April 21 is the National Cancer Prevention and Treatment Publicity Week. Breast disease is a major problem that troubles women. Many people are very concerned about breast-related issues, such as how to read breast examination reports? Should breast mammography be done if it has radiation? Is a breast nodule cancerous? Does breast cancer mean mastectomy? In this regard, Dr. Wang Yu, deputy chief physician of Beijing Tongren Hospital, was a guest on Xinhuanet's "Health Calendar·E-Questions and Answers" column to explain topics related to breast diseases.

Wang Yu said that after completing the breast examination, you will get a breast report. Don't panic if you find nodules when reading the breast report. If you find that the nodules are low-echo, irregular in shape, and have visible blood flow, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. The current breast cancer surgery technology can allow patients to have a complete breast appearance and life. She recommends that women who are not preparing for pregnancy or pregnant should have a mammogram examination once a year to care for their health. (Bai Bixuan)
