Can a surgeon tell if its breast cancer before receiving biopsy results?

The doctors call for Breast Biopsy? Does it mean their is a HIGH chance for an individual to have cancer?

  • We got the result a few days ago from mammogram, ultrasound. The results showed that their is no cancer found. After that, they called, and told us they are suspicious of something, so my mom should do a breast biopsy. Does it mean cancer? Please tell me your stories if you have ever had that procedure. Thank You

  • Answer:

    not necessarily- that 'something' may not be malicious. They simply want to make sure.

They don't find cancer with an ultrasound or mammogram. They may find a lump and depending on how it presents, may call for a biopsy to rule out anything suspicious.
