The limitation in a telemedical consultation is the inability of the physician to do palpation of body parts of a patient.
In a telemedical consultation for a breast cancer, palpation of the breasts and their adjacent areas are of utmost importance in the clinical diagnosis.
ROJoson cannot do the actual palpation of the breasts in a telemedical consultation. However, he has devised ways to circumvent the limitation of a telemedical consultation.
With his ROJoson's Ways in his telemedical consultation, he can still diagnose breast condition and diseases with an accuracy approximating that obtained in a face-to-face medical consultation. If there is need for a face-to-face consultation, he will advise the patients. Other diagnostic procedures can be requested as needed after the telemedical consultation.

When palpating your breast, look for the so-called "dominant" mass, the "real" mass, the red-flag
When palpating the breasts to see if there is a lump or a mass that will be a cause for alarm, look for a dominant breast mass.
One has to differentiate between lumpy or nodular breast surface and a true lump which is represented by a so-called dominant breast mass, in medical parlance.
Look at the diagram below on the difference.
A dominant breast mass is a three-dimensional distinct mass that is different from the surrounding breast tissue. If there is uncertainty whether a finding represents a true dominant mass, comparison with the mirror-image location in the opposite breast is recommended.
If a dominant breast mass is palpated, it is considered a red flag. A breast specialist should be consulted as soon as possible. The dominant breast mass needs further evaluation and investigation. It does not automatically mean it is cancer. It may still be benign. It has to be evaluated by a breast specialist.
