NCLEX-RN Exam - Question 17


Which of the following procedures is necessary to establish a definitive diagnosis of breast cancer?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

To establish a definitive diagnosis of breast cancer, a breast tissue biopsy is necessary. While imaging techniques like diaphanography, mammography, and thermography can help in screening and detecting abnormalities, they cannot confirm the presence of cancer cells. A biopsy, which involves the removal and examination of tissue from the suspicious area, is the only procedure that provides a reliable diagnosis by enabling the examination of cells for cancerous changes.
