Breast cancer is a malignancy that arises in the breasts of men or women. It can arise from ducts or lobules. Patients either find a lump or have an abnormal mammogram. Risk factors include being female, having breasts, have a genetic predisposition (eg a gene you inherit from a parent), family history of breast or ovarian cancer, getting older, personal history of breast biopsies, dense breasts on mammography, or ovarian cancer, alcohol, and obesity. Protective factors include pregnancy, especially at a younger age, weight maintenance especially after menopause, and exercise.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
A breast biopsy must be performed to confirm the diagnosis and sometimes additional tests in addition to mammography and breast ultrasounds are performed such as MRIs or CT scans. Treatment should be managed by a multi-disciplinary treatment team including a surgeon, a medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist. Treatment will probably include some kind of surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy and often an evaluation of the nearby lymph nodes), as well as the possibility of radiotherapy and/or hormone therapy. or chemotherapy.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
