Never Ignore Screening Test to Detect Breast Cancer

According to a report, around forty percent of women who choose mammogram are diagnosed as having dense breasts, which is a critical condition and should be addressed as soon as possible. Of course, it is not an illness; however, it makes it quite difficult to diagnose the signs as well as symptoms of breast cancer.
The reason is dense tissues look like cancerous tissues; that’s why doctors suggest mammography, other tests to detect cancerous cell.  Most of the time, doctors suggest Chemosynthesis, which is the best screening test. It is often carried out to identify signs of breast cancer. It is a non-invasive test in which breasts are studied carefully.
Any type of abnormality in the breast tissue structure becomes apparent in the images. An expert radiologist then studies these images. These anomalies can be categorised as cancerous or non cancerous as per their properties. However, here, it must be noted that if a woman has dense breast tissues, it becomes critical to differentiate between normal tissue and cancerous one.
 That’s why to confirm the same, additional screening tests are recommended. One of the screening tests that is quite effective is Magnetic resonance imaging. It is carried out to deeply study the structure of the breast tissues as well as the blood flow.

According to medical reports, cancerous tissues have abnormal or increased blood flow, which can be easily detected. It is also an non invasive technique; however, not ideal for pregnant women.  So, if you have dense breast, you should not ignore it and must talk to your doctor to undergo screening.
