What is the Relationship Between Calcifications and Breast Cancer?
Dr. Harness and Dr. Robert Smith of the American Cancer Society explain microcalcifications, which are often a concern for women as they show up as white spots on a mammogram. "Calcifications are normal in the breast," says Dr. Smith. "Generally most women will have at least some. They also tend to be associated with abnormalities and they tend to be associated with cancer, which is one of reasons why it is very important to evaluate their morphality." According to Dr. Smith, about 85% of calcification biopsies come back normal. Watch this video to learn more.

I was diagnosed with calcifications in my left breast. It was 1991. They were removed. I was 40. No breast cancer, thank God.

@@sharonsparks9001 have too in my left breast...macrocalcification...can they removed? I means any surgery?
My wife's cancer treatment ended last year in July and mammogram held in Nov-21, which was normal. But mammogram of Nov-22 is showing scattered development of calcification in the area of lumpectomy surgery. 17-Nov is the date of Biopsy. Pls pray for normal results.
Thank god. They scared me so bad at the breast center. This video calmed me down.
I am wondering on google in search of this type of calcification. After watching this video feeling a bit relaxed that result will be normal with the grace of God.
This information is appreciated...it would be valuable to understand this procedure when implants are involved.
I have been diagnosed with calcifications in my breast however because the doctor has the last say I can’t have an MRI right now it’s too costly they don’t care about saving your life
I am 72 with a family history of breast cancer. I wish that I could be treated like an individual without the family history impact. I am more than data and odds of.
Thank you Dr. For the information. God bless you
I have to speak to a surgeon about my calcifications so it sounds like it’s “something “. Obviously they think it’s something that shouldn’t be ignored.
I have previous history of cancer with lumpectomy, radiation and chemo 19 years ago. Mammo just found cluster of calcifications at old tumor site. Could it possibly be benign?

Cancerous tissue create calcification not the other way around. It doesnt mean its the only way calcifications are formed, as was discussed
Is there anything we can do to ease this so called calcification in the breast? maybe some kind of a diet changes. Thanks
