Išsamus aprašymas

Mammograms

What you can expect after the mammogram:

1) The radiologist may explain your results at the time of mammogram/
ultrasound (If this is not offered, you can request it, but often you may
need to schedule a consultation.)
2) The detailed report of the findings is usually sent directly to your primary
or referring physician. If you want it, you may have a copy of this report.
Ask the doctor who received it.
3) You will also receive a brief report by mail of the radiologist’s findings
and recommendations for needed follow-up. (This report is mandated
by law.)

Some possible recommendations by the radiologist or primary doctor if
there is a suspicious area or lump found on the mammogram:

1) Wait 3-6 months and have another mammogram to see if there are
any changes
2) Referral for ultrasound which will show whether a cyst is fluid-filled
or solid
3) Referral to surgeon for biopsy. (At some mammography centers the
mammogram and the biopsy may be done on the same day. It depends
on the capability of the particular center.)
4) Referral for a ductogram (For this procedure, the radiologist takes a very
fine plastic catheter and with a magnifying glass, threads it into the duct,
squirts dye into it, and takes a picture. A ductogram provides a map for
the surgeon to use for a biopsy and may also show the source of your
breast discharge, if you had discharge.)

Possible questions to ask/things to advocate for:

1) If you have a palpable lump, the mammographer should put a marker on
your breast to make sure the lump is identifiable on the film.
2) If you have calcifications, a magnification view is often taken. Sometimes
this step is skipped and you are sent directly for a biopsy. (You should ask
why, if this is the case, especially if surgical biopsy is recommended.)
3) If referred for biopsy, consider a second opinion of the mammogram
at another center. (For some people a center that specializes in
mammography is a better option.) Take your original mammography
films with you.
4) How much time do I have to make a decision about what to do next?
5) Ask how many mammograms the radiologist reads in a year. The accuracy
of the reading varies depending in part on the number of mammograms
someone reads.
6) Check for the FDA/National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory
Committee certification. It should be posted in the center.

Biopsies


If you need to have a biopsy, there are several types you could have. The type
of biopsy depends in part on whether the lump is palpable (you can feel it)
or not. If the lump can only be seen on a mammogram, it can be approached
by a stereotactic fine-needle biopsy, stereotactic core biopsy, mammotome, or
wire localization biopsy (see below for descriptions). These procedures use the
mammogram or ultrasound to locate the lump before sampling it. If the lump
is palpable, then it can also be tested with fine-needle aspiration or a core
biopsy. Finally, the lump can be removed entirely with an excisional biopsy or
a piece of it can be removed with an incisional biopsy.
