This IS the Biggest News in Breast Cancer Management in 2016!!!

The FISH Rule
I teach my medical students when
they are examining women the mnemonic ‘FISH’ rule – Breast Cancer is usually FIXED in
the breast with an IRREGULAR surface is a SINGLE (not multiple) lump and is
HARD.
I encourage women to seek medical attention if they
find a lump in their breasts with these characteristics – sort of like finding
a walnut stuck deep within the breast.
