Focal Asymmetry

Hello!

My recent mammogram showed focal asymmetry on my left breast, something that has not been present in prior mammograms.


Has anyone else had this and what should I expect if anything? I have a follow up mammogram of the left breast and ultrasound.

    Hi @recruiter24, I’m sorry that you have the worry that comes with a mammogram call back. Statistically, focal asymmetry on a screening mammogram is benign 88% of the time. The mammogram and ultrasound radiology reports will clear you or recommend a biopsy. The biopsy results determine whether or not cancer cells are present. Focal asymmetry showed up on one of my mammograms. While I’m here all those women who received benign results are not around to chime in. I hope your scans go well. All the best!
