Is breast calcification breast cancer?

Mammography is the most commonly used examination method for breast diseases at present. Some patients in mammography often have calcification of breast tissue, which can be divided into benign and malignant. Benign calcification is mostly scattered, with smooth and clear edges and uniform density. There are transparent annular calcification in the center, "popcorn" calcification, rutted calcification along blood vessels, short arc calcification and so on. There is no need to cause panic about such calcification. Clinically, patients are often worried about breast calcification, and even think that it is unnecessary to come to Shanghai for treatment. In fact, breast calcification does not represent breast cancer, and benign breast calcification accounts for a considerable proportion.

The calcification of breast cancer is mostly manifested as clusters of fine-grained calcification (that is, sediment-like calcification), and the calcification distributed along the catheter can be short rod-shaped, worm-like and branched. Ordinary non-professionals can't judge the type of calcification. The correct way is to ask a radiologist who is good at the diagnosis of breast diseases to make a comprehensive and detailed evaluation of X-rays, and puncture the suspected calcification point of breast cancer under X-ray positioning to achieve the purpose of early diagnosis. Therefore, Miss Fu, friends, don't be nervous when she finds breast calcification. She should ask relevant experts for further examination and evaluation. Don't scare yourself and affect her mood, life and work.
