Breast Cancer Diagnosis

At Dr. Rajinder Kaur Saggu's Breast Cancer Diagnostic Center in Delhi, we understand the importance of addressing concerns related to breast health promptly and compassionately. When you arrive seeking answers regarding a painless breast lump or changes in your breasts, our team provides reassurance while conducting a thorough triple assessment to ensure accurate diagnoses.

Comprehensive Triple Assessment

Our triple assessment consists of three key components:

1. Clinical History: Our female breast specialist, Dr. Rajinder Kaur Saggu, evaluates your medical background and performs a physical examination of both breasts and armpits.
2. Imaging Studies: A breast imaging doctor utilizes ultrasounds and/or mammograms to visualize internal structures. Women aged 40 years and above typically receive mammograms.
3. Needle Procedures: If an abnormality is detected, a needle aspiration or core biopsy is conducted to obtain cell samples for analysis.

Additional Tests and Treatment Options

Should an abnormality be discovered, further testing might be required, such as:

• Image-Guided Needle Biopsy
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Genetic counseling and testing

These services aim to provide a complete understanding of your condition so that we can tailor a suitable course of action.

Understanding Breast Biopsies

A breast biopsy involves removing a sample of breast cells or tissue for examination under a microscope to ascertain whether cells are cancerous or benign. There are several types of biopsies, including fine needle aspiration (FNA), core needle biopsy, excisional biopsy, and vacuum assisted breast biopsy (VABB).

Interpretation of Results and Staging

After receiving the results of your biopsy, we interpret the findings and share the details with you and your loved ones. Once breast cancer is confirmed, we proceed with staging tests to establish the extent of the cancer.

Stages of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer stages describe the progression of cancer based on its size and location. Early detection often leads to higher chances of successful treatments:

• Stage 0: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)
