Hello, guys. I have some cases of breast cancer in my family. I would like to have my breast examined, but I don't know which method I should use. Should I go for ultrasound or mammography? I would really use your help here. Thank you in advance. I appreciate it. Bye!

Hello. Both mammography and ultrasound will show typical lumps. Ultrasound is harmless method. Mammography is in fact X ray, so you will be exposed to radiation. I think mammography is indicated in women in menopause. It cannot be done earlier. However, mammography can show more details. There are some lesions that both methods cannot show. In some cases, fine needle aspiration biopsy is an excellent choice. That is why you should consult a doctor before making a final decision. I hope that everything will be all right.
