Investigation of suspected breast cancer.

[Argirios Argiriou]

Learning points:

Modern diagnosis of breast cancer is based upon multidisciplinary team work using triple assessment of clinical examination, imaging (mammography and ultrasound), and needle biopsy.

Breast magnetic resonance imaging can aid local breast cancer staging but its exact role remains to be established.

Axillary staging using ultrasound and needle biopsy may detect patients with lymph node involvement preoperatively and thus reduce unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsies.
