[quote=Anonymous]Imaging is not enough!!!! If its not a cyst (which can be determined by imaging) you need a biopsy. 10% of cancers do not show up on imaging (it may be a lower number now because of the digital mammograms). My lump didn't show up on either mammogram or ultrasound and I was told it was nothing. (Ahem . . . Foxhall ob/gyn). Much later I found out it was cancer. The absolute mest place for imaging in this area, and one of the best places in the country, is GW. They follow up on everything until they have a definitive answer and routinely find cancers others have missed. They do a lot more biopsies as a result but thats the only way to know.[/quote]
