Research Notes on Microcalcification


Microcalcifications are tiny specks of mineral deposits (calcium), that can be scattered throughout the mammary gland, or occur in clusters. When found on a mammogram, an operative will then decide whether the specks are of concern - usually, this is not the case. Commonly, they simply indicate the presence of tiny benign cysts, but can signify the presence of early breast cancer; for this reason, it is important to attend regular screening sessions, as recommended by your health service. …read more from Wikipedia

  • Almost 4 out of 10 breast cancers contain clusters of microcalcification.2
  • Specialist can often determine the shape and pattern of microcalcification in the breast.2
