Because inflammatory breast cancer forms in layers, your doctor may not feel a distinct lump during a breast exam and a mammogram may not detect one either. However, it is possible to see and feel the skin thickening that often happens with IBC. This skin thickening can also be detected on a mammogram.

Scientists funded by Breast Cancer Now have confirmed inherited genetic links between non-invasive cancerous changes found in the milk ducts – known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) – and the development of invasive breast cancer, meaning that a family history of DCIS could be as important to assessing a woman's risk ...

Macrocalcifications look like large white dots on a mammogram (breast X-ray) and are often dispersed randomly within the breast. Macrocalcifications are common -- they are found in approximately half of women over age 50, and one in 10 women under age 50 -- and are considered noncancerous.

» Why is mammography performed on dedicated breast imaging equipment? Early breast cancer is difficult to detect because it appears similar to normal breast tissue. The difference between cancer and normal tissue needs to be amplified, and for this the use of lower energy X-rays is required.

Treatment of Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) means the cells that line the milk ducts of the breast have become cancer, but they have not spread into surrounding breast tissue. DCIS is considered non-invasive or pre-invasive breast cancer.

This x-ray can check any lumps or other changes found by the physical examination. It can also find changes that are too small to be felt during a physical examination. During the mammogram, one breast at a time is pressed between two x-ray plates, which spread the breast tissue out so that clear pictures can be taken.

Category 2 is a definitive benign finding and a routine screening. That is, there is something abnormal on mammogram but it is not breast cancer or malignant in any way. BI-RADS category 2 findings often include: Round opacities with macrocalcifications (typical calcified fibroadenoma or cyst)

Today, the imaging test may or may not be one you receive before you begin treatment. While chest X-rays have a low success rate in detecting whether breast cancer has spread to your lungs, your doctor may still recommend one for several reasons.

Breast lumps detected during pregnancy are generally benign and reflect fibroadenoma, lactating adenoma, cysts, infarction of the breast or galactocele. Although rare, the possibility of breast cancer must also be considered to avoid any delays in diagnosis.

Microcalcifications are small calcium deposits that look like white specks on a mammogram. Microcalcifications are usually not a result of cancer. But if they appear in certain patterns and are clustered together, they may be a sign of precancerous cells or early breast cancer.

If a mammogram is classified into the BI-RADS category 3 it tends to have a very low positive predictive value (less than 2%), meaning the chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer is low. A BI-RADS category 4 mammogram has a positive predictive value of about 30%.

Category 2 A BI-RADS score of 2 also shows that your mammogram results are normal. There are no indications of cancer, but the doctor may notice some benign cysts or masses to include in your report. Routine visits are suggested with this score.
