Breast self-examination: how to do it? (P1)
Written by: Dr. Gerardo Castorena Rojí
Edited by: Top Doctors®
Not only is cancer diagnosed by mastography, but many more diseases, of which the vast majority are considered benign.
Mast or mammography is a method that uses conventional x-rays to see the inside and the structure of a mammary gland. It is performed by a mastologist using a digital mastograph, which is a very safe device that provides a high degree of certainty in the diagnosis of breast diseases and is specifically designed for mammary glands.
Benefits of mastography
Mast is a safe procedure that detects a wide range of breast diseases. Not only is cancer diagnosed by mastography, but many more diseases, of which the vast majority are considered benign.
That is why not only women with suspicion or risk of breast cancer should be a mastograph, but all, since it is an excellent diagnostic aid in practically 80 or 90 percent of diseases that can affect the mammary gland.
The mastography should be performed on women after the age of 40 and this has a raison d'être. Before the age of 40 years, mainly in women who have not had children and have not breastfed, the mammary gland is very dense, so that if they are made a mastography the probability to obtain a suitable image is low.
