What does solid breast tissue mean does it mean I have cancer?

Answer 1

Who told you it's "solid breast tissue?"

It means what whoever said it means by it.

If you're the one calling something abnormal that you felt "solid breast tissue," then see your physician to have hir evaluate what you're feeling.

I had fairly advanced breast cancer, and never heard such a phrase, nor did I feel the mass until I saw it on the mammogram, and knew where it was.

So remember that the only thing that means you have breast cancer is a positive biopsy, and you can't get those done on Yahoo!Answers. It's probably nothing, but get it checked.

Answer 2

In mammography, some facilities use the "bi-rads" method to explain things that are seen on a mammogram. The bi-rads method numbers are from 1 to 5. One basically means that there is nothing in the breast other than normal breast tissue. So your number 4 bi-rads mean that the radiologist who read your mammogram is concerned about something he or she sees on the films and strongly recommends a biopsy. I have been a mammogram technologist for about 14 years. If it was my own mammogram I would be going to a oncologist. I would not mess around with a general surgeon. Try not to panic. Sometimes it looks ugly on a mammogram or U/S and it turns out to be benign. But please go to a specialist. Good luck to you.
