Know “How to detect Breast Cancer” by Dr. Amish Dalal Breast cancer can sometimes be diagnosed after the detection of usual symptoms because, in the early stage, the symptoms often do not become apparent or are not felt. Therefore, a daily self- examination often proves to be helpful in detected probable symptoms as early as possible. The moment you feel anything unusual like redness, change in size and shape of your breasts, or an unusual growth like a lump in your breasts or armpits which does not feel like a part of your breast tissue, immediately visit an oncologist for a check-up. Dr. Amish Vasant Dalal, a leading oncologist in Mumbai, an acclaimed authority on the subject and treatment of breast cancer. After talking to patients and understanding their problems, Doctor Amish Dalal conducts medical examinations in order to carry out the necessary evaluation. Some of the common tests for diagnosing breast cancer are: Breast Ultrasound (Sonography) Better known a Sonography, this method uses sound waves to detect whether there are any changes in the breast tissue, those that can be felt but not visible on Mammogram. An ultrasound test also helps in differentiating between solid masses and cysts that are filled with fluid. Dr. Amish conducts the Sonography using his infallible judgement.

Therefore, a daily self-examination often proves to be helpful in detected probable symptoms as early as possible. Themoment you feel anything unusual like redness, change in size and shape of your breasts, or anunusual growth like a lump in your breasts or armpits which does not feel like a part of yourbreast tissue, immediately visit an oncologist for a check-up. Dr. Amish Vasant Dalal, a leadingoncologist in Mumbai, an acclaimed authority on the subject and treatment of breast cancer.

After talking to patients and understanding their problems, Doctor Amish Dalal conductsmedical examinations in order to carry out the necessary evaluation. Some of the common testsfor diagnosing breast cancer are:

Breast Ultrasound (Sonography)

Better known a Sonography, this method uses sound waves to detect whether there are anychanges in the breasttissue, those that can be felt but not visible on Mammogram. An ultrasound test also helps indifferentiating between solid masses and cysts that are filled with fluid. Dr. Amish conducts theSonography using his infallible judgement.

Mammograms

Mammograms are best described as the X-ray of the breasts. Thisis an effective method to diagnose changes in the breast tissue in cases where women show novisible symptoms of a breast anomaly. This medical examination involves taking two views ofeach breast, with focus on the suspected region. Amish Dalal conducts Mammograms at JaslokHospital, Breach Candy Hospital, Saifee Hospital, Bhatia General Hospital, and Parsee GeneralHospital.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of breasts

An experienced oncologist like Amish Dalal is highly sought after for his expertise. He conductsMRI tests at the hospitals that he works with. As opposed to Mammograms that use X-rays,MRI’s use radio waves and strong magnets. These waves enter the body and bounce-off, forminga pattern that is determined by body characteristics and the nature of disease. The pattern istransmitted by the computer into a picture, which is reflected on a screen. While conducting anMRI for detecting breast cancer, a contrast liquid known as gadolinium needs to be introducedinto a vein before or while scanning for improving the quality of detection. Dr. Amish Dalalstudies the MRI and advises the next course of action.

Under the guidance and expertise of Dr. Amish Dalal, patients can rest assured that they receivethe best care and treatment possible. He is available at leading Mumbai hospitals only by priorappointment.
