Which breast screening test do I require?
Hello, I found a small, hard, round lump in my left breast (it has been the same for 2 weeks, no movement or changes).Do I require an ultrasound, a mammogram, or both?

Answer:

Based on the information you have provided, it is recommended to begin with an ultrasound examination. An ultrasound will help us assess the characteristics of the lump in your breast and determine whether further investigation is necessary.

If the ultrasound shows any areas of concern, we can then proceed with a mammogram to gather additional detailed images for a more comprehensive evaluation.
