Having your screening mammogram results come back as suspicious can certainly raise your anxiety levels, but it is important to remember that suspicious results don’t necessarily mean breast cancer. A suspicious or unclear result means that there is an area of your breast that looks different from the norm or in comparison to previous mammograms. These results will require further studies to determine what is going on (diagnostic mammogram, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, or breast biopsy).  Our radiologist will speak with your physician to determine what study is needed to further investigate and confirm the results, then communicate that recommendation to you.
