Ultrasound shows triangular solid nodule in breast. Due for biopsy. Chances of cancer?
Patient: I had a breast ultrasound done and results says I have a triangular shaped solid nodule 8mm in size. During ultrasound the techs were talking about a blood vessel running to it. I have a biopsy Tuesday, I would like to know what are the odds that this is breast cancer. My maternal Aint died in 2009 at the age of 48. I just want to prepare myself, can you give any insight? Doctor: Hi, Simply based on this description nothing can be commented. There are other causes of solid swelling in the breast also. Do not worry at all. This is a small size lump. If anything serious can be found on biopsy then also total cure is possible. Nothing serious will happen to you. Do not get nervous. There is very good treatment option for the disease whatever it may be. Consult your surgeon.
