Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / May 2005Compression Test
What are the benefits of a compression test versus an ultrasound test? I'm wondering why I had to have both. My mother recently underwent a lumpectomy and just finished radiation therapy. Now we are working on a lump on MY breast :-( Thanks in advance. Gigglz Sorry to hear about your mom. A compression test - I think you are referring to is a mammogram which is the first step. It can help the ultrasound where to focus on. Wishing you the best. Alex Thanks. No, it was a test where I lied on a table and a machine came down and compressed the breast. It was AFTER I had already had a mammogram. Does that makes sense? Gigglz >Sorry to hear about your mom. A compression test - I think you are referring >to is a mammogram which is the first step.
