3. Which diagnostic test is used to confirm a suspected diagnosis of breast cancer?
a.
Mammogram
b.
Ultrasound
c.
Needle-localization biopsy
d.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
ANS: C
When a suspicious mammogram is noted or a lump is detected, diagnosis is confirmed by either a core-needle biopsy or a needle-localization biopsy. Mammography is a clinical screening tool that may aid in the early detection of breast cancers. Transillumination, thermography, and ultrasound breast imaging are being explored as methods for detecting early breast carcinoma. An MRI is useful in women with masses that are difficult to find (occult breast cancer).
