If a lump or other abnormality is detected during a CBE, further diagnostic tests are usually recommended. These may include:
Mammography: An X-ray of the breast to further investigate the finding. Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to create an image of the breast tissue. Biopsy: Removal of a small tissue sample for laboratory analysis.
Early detection through CBE allows for timely intervention and increases the options for less aggressive treatments.
