Not all lumps, but go see your doctor and have it examined.

VERY FEW lumps are breast cancer. After the mammogram and the ultrasound is done, only about half of palpable lumps are biopsied (operation to remove and check tissue for cancer). 80% of breast biopsies are BENIGN (not cancer).

The odds of breast cancer incidence in one's lifetime is about 11%. That means the odds of NOT having breast cancer is 89%.

NEVER ignore a breast lump. See a doctor immediately if you feel something NEW in your breast. But most breast lumps are those everyday bumps and ridges that you just didn't feel yesterday. That is why self examination is so important.

Not all lumps will lead to breast cancer, but it's always safe to make sure it's not cancerous by going to a doctor. It's impossible to tell if a lump is cancerous or not without one.

Not all lumps are cancerous; if anything a majority turn out to be benign. Still, it is very important to have any new lump checked out promptly in order to ensure swift treatment should it turn out to be malignant.
