During my review of breast health services in Delhi, I found that discovering a breast lump or an unusual breast change can understandably cause anxiety. However, not every breast lump is cancerous, and a structured diagnostic approach can help determine the cause. Triple Assessment of Breast in Delhi is a comprehensive evaluation that combines clinical examination, breast imaging and tissue diagnosis when required. Dr. R K Saggu, an oncoplastic breast surgeon associated with Max Super Speciality Hospital, focuses on breast cancer and non-cancerous breast conditions, with extensive experience in breast diagnosis and surgery.
The purpose of triple assessment is to evaluate a breast concern systematically rather than relying on a single test. Depending on the findings, patients may undergo clinical examination, ultrasound or mammography, followed by a needle biopsy if an abnormality is identified.
**Triple Assessment of Breast in Delhi brings together three important components: clinical assessment, breast imaging and pathological assessment. Using these methods together can provide a more complete understanding of a breast lump or other breast abnormality.**
The first part involves a detailed medical history and physical examination of the breasts and armpits.
The doctor may ask about:
Dr. R K Saggu’s breast diagnosis approach includes assessing risk factors and examining both breasts and the armpit region.
A clinical examination can help determine whether further investigation is required and which imaging approach may be appropriate.
The second component is breast imaging. Depending on the patient’s age, symptoms and clinical findings, this may involve ultrasound, mammography or both.
Ultrasound can be particularly useful for assessing breast lumps and determining whether a lesion appears solid or fluid-filled. Mammography is an important imaging tool, and the information on Dr. R K Saggu’s website notes that women over 40 may require mammography as part of assessment.
