Currently, breast cancer is showing a tendency to become younger. According to statistics from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer is the most common cancer in women.

BIRADS classification aims to standardize diagnosis, predict the risk of malignancy and help to have appropriate treatment. Combining ultrasound after mammography is always necessary in difficult-to-see lesions on dense breast background that are easily missed.

Axillary lymph node ultrasound is a simple imaging method that helps doctors diagnose some diseases of the axillary lymph nodes. This is also the first method indicated in cases of abnormalities in the axillary lymph nodes and suspected metastatic lesions in cancer.

Non-mass lesions account for approximately 5% of all lesions seen on breast ultrasound. These lesions are also known as focal opacities, tubular structures, ductal changes, or non-mass lesions. Non-mass lesions have a wide spectrum of pathology. This spectrum ranges from benign (fibrocystic change or fibrostromal fibrosis) to ductal carcinoma in situ to invasive cancer.

Solid breast tissue is detected on mammograms. Women with dense breast tissue have a higher risk of breast cancer than the general population. Dense breast tissue also makes screening for breast cancer more difficult.

Clinical examination and use of imaging tools such as breast ultrasound, mammography, breast MRI... can help assess tumor and lymph node stage. In the case of advanced breast cancer, PET/CT can be used for staging.

At Vinmec, there are currently 2 programs: Intervention for diagnosis and intervention for breast treatment: Diagnostic breast intervention includes: Aspiration cytology, core needle biopsy, vacuum biopsy and wire needle positioning. Therapeutic breast interventions include: Vacuum removal, treatment of breast abscess and treatment of mammary cysts.

Breast cancer is currently the leading cause of cancer death among women. Breast cancer patients are often detected late, leading to inadequate treatment. The reason for this is in no small part due to misconceptions about cancer that many people are suffering from.

3D breast ultrasound helps detect breast cancer accurately. This is a new medical technique applied in Vietnam, suitable for the characteristics of Vietnamese breast tissue and has many other outstanding advantages.

Fibrocystic breast disease causes the patient to feel pain and tightness in both breasts. Many women worry about this abnormality. However, is fibrocystic breast disease dangerous and what medical techniques can diagnose fibrocystic breast disease? This article will help readers have more information about fibrocystic breast disease and techniques to diagnose the disease.
