With regards to breast cancer detection, breast lumps are found in different ways. Often, times an individual feels a change in her breast while she's in the shower, while she's dressing, and brings it to the attention of her physician. Then the evaluation is undergone to determine if the breast lump is benign or cancerous; or it can be found on a clinical breast exam. When a woman comes in for her yearly breast exam and mammography, the physician can feel a lump or bump or change in the breast that can necessitate a further evaluation workup.
