Not Just Lumps: How To Check For Other Changes In Your Breasts That May Indicate Cancer

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - January 21, 2020 - Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Cancer Survival

It’s a proven fact that the earlier breast cancer is detected the more successful treatment often is. For that reason, awareness campaigns that urge women to do at-home self-exams are a great resource for educating women on how to check for any lumps in their breasts. However, a formal breast self-examination is not necessary. Just paying attention to your breasts when showering is usually good enough.

Hands down and without a doubt, mammograms are the best way to detect breast cancer early. Mammograms save lives, and so it’s crucial for every woman to know when she should be having them, and how frequently.

4 Reasons To Elevate Breast Cancer Awareness

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - October 22, 2018 - Cancer Survival
0

October may be the official Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but we passionately believe that everyone can be taking steps to raise awareness about breast cancer every month of the year.

Currently, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, and 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Fortunately, over 3.3 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the United States today. My beloved Aunt Laura and many of my cherished patients are among those survivors.

How to Read Your Breast MRI Report

How Do I Read My Breast MRI?

An MRI of the breast is perhaps the best method we have to evaluate your breasts for the presence of a cancer. However, breast MRIs are also the most expensive method to evaluate the breast. And therefore they are not used as a screening tool. Breast MRIs are used to either add additional information to mammography when a mammogram is unclear. A mammogram may be unclear if the mammogram is dense, that is if the report of your mammogram describes heterogeneously dense breast or extremely dense breast. Likewise, if there is an abnormality on the mammogram it may need further evaluation with a breast MRI.

Chemotherapy Before Surgery? But I Want My Cancer Gone! Part I

Breast cancer belongs in the garbage can. Period.
Breast cancer needs to be cut out and thrown away. Done. The end.

If only it were that simple. Many surgeons will tell you that it is that simple. Just cut out the tumor and be done with it. But breast cancer is a very complex disease that requires a mosaic of treatments from a multidisciplinary team dedicated to the destruction of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Survivors and Pregnancy

You survived breast cancer and now you want to get pregnant. Is it safe? Will the cancer come back? Will my baby be healthy?

First, let’s review what you went through to survive breast cancer. You had a mammogram, which radiates your breasts. You had surgery and a Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy, which puts radiation into your breast and lymph nodes. You may have had Whole Breast Radiation Therapy, which put lots of radiation into your breast. You probably had chemotherapy. And you are currently taking tamoxifen, an anti-estrogen pill.
