D
A breast exam, called a mammogram, aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. Breast cancer can be detected by examining symptoms like a lump in the breasts (self examination under the arm), dimpling of the skin, changes in theshape and size of the breast and nipple. Since breast cancer can also occur due to mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, genetic testing of these genes can provide information on the possibility of cancer manifestation.
