Breast Cancer: A Patient's Journey

A wide variety of methods are used to screen for early cancers and to locate cancer in patients already diagnosed with the disease. The video modules in this series describe breast cancer detection and diagnosis techniques including: mammography, ultrasound, breast biopsy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and pathology. Lymphedema, a side effect that may occur as a result of techniques used for breast cancer detection, is also discussed in a video module. You might also want to see the videos about medical testing.

Each video module also contains a list of frequently asked questions.
