If your mammogram or physician’s exam suggests an abnormality, or if you have symptoms (such as a lump) you may have a biopsy to rule out or confirm the presence of cancer.
If your biopsy is negative (shows no sign of cancer), you may resume your normal mammography schedule. If your biopsy is positive (shows signs of cancer), we understand how you feel and we are here for you. Take a deep breath and make an appointment with Roswell Park's Breast Oncology Team, who can explain your diagnosis and outline the treatment options best for you. Some women may need additional testing, such as women with large cancers, with many involved lymph nodes, or other symptoms.
