Is fibroadenoma breast cancer?
Reply:
A fibroadenoma, also known as a fibroadenoma, is a solid, round mass made up of fibrous and glandular tissue, usually benign.
Most fibroadenomas do not increase the risk of breast cancer.
In some cases, fibroadenoma increases the risk of cancer if the fibroadenoma is complex or is accompanied by a phyllodes tumor (leaf-like shape).
Most fibroadenomas are benign and do not increase the risk of breast cancer.
Tumors can form lumps on one or both sides of the chest, are painless, and move easily under the skin.
Typical fibroadenomas are round or oval in shape with clear, smooth borders, and tend to soften in the few days before menstruation.
The disease is discovered during a physical examination or during routine X-rays and ultrasound of the mammary glands.
Breast ultrasound: This method is used to evaluate breast tumors.
Mammogram: The tumor appears as a round or oval mass, with clear borders, not encroaching on adjacent tissue areas.
3D mammography: A specialized mammography method that creates 3D images of the breast, providing a more detailed assessment than a regular mammogram.
Biopsy: The doctor orders people with fibroadenomas to take tissue samples for pathology.
