Preview- It could seem apparant that, this type of tomography (i.e., conventional tomography, or planigraphy) test is also used in women with a diagnosis of breast (i.e., mamma, or teat) cancer to search for other lesions that may not be seen on mammography. Diagnosis is the process (i.e., processus) of identifying a disease, such as cancer, from its signs and symptoms. Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk (i.e., strip, or lac) to the nipple (i.e., papilla mammae, or mammilla)) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male (i.e., masculine) breast (i.e., mamma masculina, or mamma virilis) cancer is rare. Mammography is the use of film or a computer to create a picture of the breast. Breast, glandular (i.e., glandulous) organ located on the chest (i.e., pectus). The breast is made up of connective tissue (i.e., interstitial tissue, or supporting tissue), fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland (i.e., glandula mammaria, or lactiferous gland).
- It looks that, this trial can also be used to evaluate lumps that have been identified by a BSE (Bovine spongiform (i.e., spongy) encephalopathy (i.e., cerebropathia, or cerebropathy) (BSE)), CBE, or mammography. CBE is a physical exam of the breast performed by a health care provider to check for lumps or other changes. Also called clinical breast exam.
- It seems that, while mammograms are the most useful tests for viewing and finding breast cancer early, other imaging tests may be helpful in some cases. Imaging is in medicine, a process that makes pictures of areas inside the body. Imaging uses methods such as x-rays (high-energy radiation (i.e., radiatio)), ultrasound (high-energy sound waves), and radio waves. Imaging test is a type of test that makes pictures of areas inside the body. Some examples of imaging tests are CT scans and MRIs. Also called imaging procedure.

Since screening may find diseases at an early stage, there may be a better chance of curing the disease. Examples of cancer screening tests are the mammogram (breast), colonoscopy (i.e., coloscopy) (colon), and the Pap test (i.e., papanicolaou smear test) and HPV test (cervix (i.e., neck, or cervix of uterus)). Screening can also include checking for a person`s risk of developing an inherited disease by doing a genetic test. Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple (i.e., papilla mammae, or mammilla)) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male (i.e., masculine) breast (i.e., mamma masculina, or mamma virilis) cancer is rare.
- It really is obvious that, in fact, less than 10% of women who are called back for more tests are found to have breast cancer.
