Screening

When doctors screen for breast cancer, they look for signs of disease in women without symptoms; they should be part of every healthy woman's routine. Today, three screening tests are routinely done for breast cancer:

  • Breast self-examination (BSE)
  • Clinical breast examination (CBE)
  • Mammography (MMG)
Other screening procedures also include:
  • UltraSonography (USG)
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
  • Electrical Impedance Scanning (EIS)
  • Scinti-Mammography
  • Thermography
