Breast self-exam is the first step to detect possible breast cancer, but it is a limited method that does not offer maximum reliability.
At this Breast Pathology Unit we perform systematic revisions to detect a possible tumor at an early stage, so that its treatment is less aggressive and reduces the physical and psychological sequelae in women who suffer it.
By palpation of the breasts, the specialist can detect if a lesion exists and its characteristics in terms of size and texture, as well as determining the location.
However, it is always necessary to continue with additional examinations.
