From the current clinical practice and animal experiments, data analysis related to the occurrence of breast cancer with the following factors:
Breast superficial location, as long as the correct way to master, and carefully inspected it very easy for the early detection of disease:
3. Breast duct endoscopy
Breast duct endoscopy can be observed under direct vision in patients with nipple discharge breast ductal epithelial cells and duct cavity situation greatly improved in patients with nipple discharge cause of the observed diagnostic accuracy, and accurate positioning catheter to the lesion surgery provides a great help. Breast duct endoscopy will help early detection of ductal carcinoma in situ with nipple discharge, especially in the molybdenum target X-ray examination was no calcification of the patients with ductal carcinoma in situ shows unique advantages.
A lot of facts that increase breast cancer survival and mortality is the determining factor is not entirely the improvement of treatment, the most critical is how early detection of breast cancer should be, this is an important strategy for prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
(1) the concept of early breast cancer
For the gynecological examination, many doctors advocate once a year or six months. But the investigation of breast, even half a year also significantly too long.

Breast hyperplasia and breast palpation is the primary diagnostic method, but palpation by a lot of subjective factors, so often need to rely on the following auxiliary diagnostic method.
Usually refers to breast biopsy breast needle biopsy, often under the guidance of medical imaging to improve the accuracy of puncture. The most common is that in ultrasound-guided manner. High-resolution ultrasound image, you can clearly see the biopsy needle position and orientation, in the ultrasound-guided biopsy carried out under the high accuracy.
As the breast is located in the body surface, so palpation is the most important means of instruction. Proper inspection methods can be more to find early breast cancer. Many scholars believe that physical examination is still the best in diagnosis of breast cancer is at least equal importance with other methods of screening method. Moreover, only through physical examination, will it be possible suspicious cases and select the appropriate method for further examination. Therefore, it can be said medical examination is to discover the most important part of early breast cancer. In addition to the conventional medical approach should be mastered, it should emphasize the following 3 points:
