The role of the senologist in breast health care

A senologist is a physician who specializes in breast health care, with specific training in senology. This professional works to prevent, diagnose, and treat various breast diseases, both benign and malignant, using state-of-the-art techniques and a multidisciplinary approach.

In particular, the senologist:

• Perform breast examinations to assess breast health and detect any abnormalities (pain, lumps, nipple discharge)
• Prescribes and interprets diagnostic tests, such as mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs
• Performs biopsies for histological diagnosis of suspicious lesions
• Plans and coordinates the treatment of breast diseases, collaborating with other specialists (oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons)
• Provides information and support to patients throughout the course of care for conditions such as fibrocystic mastopathy (or fibrocystic disease), breast fibroadenomas, simple or complex breast cysts, breast infections (mastitis), galactocele, nipple discharge, and breast neoplasms.

The importance of breast examination in prevention

A breast examination is a key clinical examination for the prevention and early detection of breast disease. During the examination, the breast specialist assesses the health of the breast through visual inspection, palpation, and, if necessary, prescribes additional diagnostic tests.

Life Clinic recommends that all women have regular breast examinations, with the frequency varying according to age and individual risk factors:

• From age 20 to 39: breast examination every two years
• Age 40 and over: annual breast examination

In addition, our senologists provide personalized advice on breast self-examination and lifestyle to reduce the risk of developing breast disease.
