Best Answer

Breast cancer must be diagnosed by a doctor. Doctors use clinical breast examinations, imagining technologies like mammography, and samples of breast tissue called biopsies.

Women should talk with their doctor to determine their specific risk of breast cancer. All women should perform monthly breast self-examinations and report any changes to their doctor. Clinical breast examinations by a doctor should occur at least once every three years for women 20 to 39 years of age. Beginning at age 40, women should have yearly clinical breast exams by their doctor and yearly mammograms.

Can breast cancer turn into bone cancer?

Yes, advanced breast cancer can metastasize to skin, although it is not that common for the breast cancer to spread to areas of skin besides the affected breast. That cancer that has spread to the skin will be the same pathology as the breast cancer which are commonly carcinomas. The original breast cancer will not change into melanoma or basal cell carcinoma once it spreads to skin. That would be a second new cancer.
