Breast Care
Diagnostic assessment for breast masses, abnormal screening, and surgical opinions.
While most breast lumps are not cancerous, any new mass or change requires a clinical exam. Addressing these findings early is essential for your peace of mind and optimal health outcomes.
Dr. Delgado provides expert assessment to decide if your case needs monitoring, imaging, or a biopsy. Our approach focuses on an accurate diagnosis while ensuring you feel supported throughout the process.
Seeing a surgeon does not always lead to surgery. It is a step toward clarity. Visit our Clinics & Booking page or use NowServing to schedule an evaluation and discuss the best path forward for you.
Breast Care FAQs
Are all breast lumps cancer?
No. Many are benign. However, every new lump needs a professional evaluation to rule out serious concerns and determine if treatment or observation is necessary.
Should I see a doctor if the lump is painless?
Yes. The absence of pain does not mean a lump is harmless. Any new or persistent mass should be examined by a specialist to ensure an accurate clinical diagnosis.
Do I need imaging tests before my first appointment?
When is biopsy needed?
Not always. You may bring existing results, but Dr. Delgado can first perform a physical exam and then request specific, appropriate imaging to avoid unnecessary tests.
A biopsy is performed when imaging or a physical exam shows an uncertain finding. It allows us to examine cells directly to provide a definitive and final diagnosis.
Must a fibroadenoma be removed?
Not necessarily. Many benign lesions are safely monitored over time. Removal is usually only advised if they grow, cause pain, or if you prefer to have them excised.
When is surgery necessary?
Surgery is recommended for suspicious masses, symptomatic benign growths, or confirmed conditions where surgical removal is the most effective treatment.
