Additional Info About umacglobal Sex: Male Location: Bio: Do mammograms show all cancers? At present time, mammograms are the most effective method of screening for b-r-e-a-s-t cancer umacglobal. However, there are limitations to what mammograms can detect Mammography Machine. The detection of b-r-e-a-s-t cancer, for instance, is not always reliable. Cancers might be missed, and occasionally they uncover things that turn out not to be cancer (but that still need further testing to be sure). False-negative results If b-r-e-a-s-t cancer is present, a false-negative mammography will show no abnormalities. On average, screening mammography fail to detect one in eight b-r-e-a-s-t cancers. As a general rule, women who have thick b-r-e-a-s-ts are more susceptible to false-negative findings. It's possible for women to feel reassured by a negative mammography when they actually have b-r-e-a-s-t cancer due to the possibility of a false negative. Even though your last screening mammography was negative, you should still schedule an appointment with your doctor if you are experiencing any new symptoms related to your b-r-e-a-s-ts. A diagnostic mammography and/or b-r-e-a-s-t ultrasound may be required to investigate the symptomatic region in further detail. False-positive results A false-positive mammography indicates the presence of b-r-e-a-s-t cancer when none is present. When a mammogram comes back abnormal, further examination (usually diagnostic mammography, ultrasound, and rarely magnetic resonance imaging or a b-r-e-a-s-t biopsy) is necessary to determine the cause of the change Mammography Dealer. Younger women, those with thick b-r-e-a-s-ts, those who have had b-r-e-a-s-t biopsies, those with a family history of b-r-e-a-s-t cancer, and those using estrogen are more likely to get a false-positive result. Over a period of 10 years, yearly mammograms result in around 50% of women receiving a false-positive finding. When getting a mammography for the first time (or if prior mammograms can't be used for comparison), the likelihood of a false-positive result increases. With a history of mammograms to compare results against, a woman's risk of a false-positive finding is cut in half. Getting a false-positive mammography result might be unsettling. They may necessitate further examination to rule out the possibility of malignancy, which may be expensive and invasive. Mammograms might not be helpful for all women The benefits of screening mammography for b-r-e-a-s-t cancer vary from woman to woman. If she also suffers from other debilitating conditions, such as severe heart, kidney, liver, or lung illness, early detection of b-r-e-a-s-t cancer may not increase her chance of survival. According to the American Cancer Society, women who have major health issues or short life expectancies should evaluate the benefits and risks of continuing to have mammograms with their doctors. The need of continuing to have routine mammograms regardless of age is emphasized in our recommendations. Mammography can identify b-r-e-a-s-t tumors too small to feel, but a small tumor does not automatically mean it can be treated. Even when the b-r-e-a-s-t tumor is small, an aggressive malignancy may have spread. Overdiagnosis and overtreatment Mammography can identify both invasive and benign b-r-e-a-s-t cancer, called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Not all mammogram-detected invasive tumors and DCIS become cancerous. Malignancies that never cause symptoms are overdiagnosed. These malignancies are not lethal, but they wouldn't have been diagnosed if the woman hadn't had a mammography. Doctors can't tell slow-growing cancers from spreaders. Since their cancer never advanced, some overdiagnosed women receive unneeded treatments. Doctors can't always tell the difference between lethal and symptomless cancers. All b-r-e-a-s-t cancers should be treated. Some women will get unnecessary cancer therapy. Overdiagnosis happens occasionally. Mammography overdiagnoses 1-10% of b-r-e-a-s-t cancers.
