A 25-year-old patient presents with a lump in their chest. What should guide your initial decision to recommend further testing?
A.
Only consider testing if the lump appears malignant on physical inspection.
B.
Recommend testing based solely on the patient's gender.
C.
Proceed with imaging like ultrasound or CT regardless of gender, since any visible lump warrants further testing.
D.
Defer testing unless the patient is female, due to the higher risk of breast cancer in women.
