🩺 Types of Breast Cancer Screening Tests: A Step-by-Step Guide

 

🌸 Why Breast Cancer Screening Matters

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. The good news? Early detection saves lives.

Routine screening can identify breast cancer at an early stage — when treatment is most effective and chances of recovery are highest.

At Harsh Hospital, Himatnagar, we are committed to empowering women with the right knowledge and access to the best screening methods.

👉 Here is a step-by-step guide to the main types of breast cancer screening tests every woman should know about.

✅ 1️⃣ Mammogram

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast and is considered the gold standard for breast cancer screening.

• It can detect tumors that are too small to be felt.

• Recommended yearly or every two years for women aged 40 and above (or earlier if you have risk factors).

• Safe, fast, and effective.

✅ 2️⃣ Clinical Breast Exam (CBE)

Performed by a trained healthcare provider:

• The doctor examines your breasts and underarms for lumps or other changes.

• Recommended as part of your regular health checkup, especially for women over 20.

✅ 3️⃣ Breast Self-Exam (BSE)

A self-exam is something every woman can do at home:

• Check your breasts once a month for changes such as lumps, thickening, or unusual discharge.

• Best done a few days after your period ends.

✅ 4️⃣ Breast Ultrasound

An ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the inside of the breast:

• Often used in addition to a mammogram.

• Especially helpful for women with dense breast tissue or if an abnormality is detected.

✅ 5️⃣ Breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

An MRI uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed images:

• Recommended for high-risk women (family history, genetic predisposition, etc.).

• Used along with other screening tests for a more complete picture.
