Breast cancer detection methods
How can one know she has breast cancer
Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan
Oncologist
Answered on 7th Feb '24
It is possible to diagnose breast cancer by self-examination in that you have a look and feel for any lumps or other abnormal changes in the tissue. However, please note that breast cancer can also be symptomless, so a person needs to have examinations by an endocrinologist or gynecologist once in a while.
