After a diagnosis of breast cancer, you will likely have other tests. These tests help your doctors learn more about your cancer. They can help show if the cancer has grown into nearby areas or spread to other parts of the body.

Once your healthcare provider knows you have breast cancer, the next step is to find out more about your cancer cells. This includes the stage of the cancer, the exact type you have, and other factors.
