Tester og undersøkelser ved brystkreft

Palpasjon - undersøkelse av brystet med hånd

Første del av undersøkelsen består av at legen gjør en fysisk undersøkelse av brystene med hendene. Han eller hun kjenner grundig og systematisk gjennom alle deler av brystene, og ser også etter ytre forandringer i brystenes utseende. Legen kjenner etter unormale lymfekjertler under armene og over kragebeinet.
