Breast Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
9. What happens during a clinical breast
exam?
During a clinical breast exam, a doctor or other health care
professional checks the breasts and underarms for lumps or other
changes that could be a sign of breast cancer. The doctor can tell
a lot about a lump by carefully feeling it and the tissue around
it. Benign lumps often feel different from cancerous ones.
