Diagnosing Breast Cancer
|
The number of patients diagnosed with breast
cancer has been continually rising over the past 20 years. However, these
numbers undoubtedly reflect intense national research to improve diagnostic
techniques, as well as important patient education which together have significantly
increased the ability to detect breast cancer in its earlier, more treatable
stages. |  |
Today, diagnosing breast cancer requires
a multidisciplinary approach, involving close communication between doctors
and mammographers for proper pre-biopsy imaging evaluation and pathologists
for proper specimen handling.

diagnosing breast cancer at the Food and Drug Administration.
