Breast mammograms. Doctor discussing a breast X- ray (mammogram) on a light box with a female patient. Mammography is a means of screening women for breast cancer. A dense,and hence bright,region may indicate the presence of a tumour. Harmless fluid-filled cysts can be distinguished from solid tumours using ultrasound. If the lump is a tumour,then a biopsy (tissue sampling) is necessary to confirm whether it is benign or cancerous (malignant). Cancerous tumours must be surgically removed.
