Medical Breast Training Program - Session Two: Breast Diagnostic Evaluation - Online CME Course

The basic complaints the Medical Breast Specialist will encounter will be thoroughly addressed in session two, from evaluation of the breast mass, approaching nipple discharge and management of mastodynia to male breast issues and breast care in transgendered patients.  The focus will be on the appropriate diagnostic workup of basic breast issues, understanding the clinical evaluation and radiologic assessment of findings and need for various types of biopsies.  Attention will be given to guideline-driven management and interpretation of core biopsy reports with appropriate follow up plans, including surgical referral when indicated.

Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Discuss the work up of common breast complaints including breast/axillary mass, breast pain, nipple discharge/scaling or erosion/inversion, skin changes, and changes in the shape of the breast or local deformities including mastery of the clinical breast exam.
  • Review evaluation of male breast complaints with a focus on causes, diagnostic approach and treatment options for men with gynecomastia.
  • Determine which type of biopsy is appropriate for which findings (stereotactic, ultrasound-guided, MRI-guided, skin punch or surgical) and which core biopsy findings should prompt surgical referral.
