Suggest Treatment For Fibroadenoma
Question: my name is sravani.age 25.I m having disease fibroedinoma since from my 18years old.3times operation had done..2 to 3 years duration tumours are formed repeatedly..in biapsy result is this causes due to hormonal imbalance.any prevention or solution to this problem? I read in net there is 90% chances fibraedinoma leads to cancer also.what type of tests have to be done regularly whether tumour is normal or cancer
Brief Answer:
surgical removal or cryoablation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
fibroadenoma is a benign tumor without malignant potential. Individuals with fibroadenoma do have an almost double risk of breast cancer in other sites on their breasts (not on this particular fibroadenoma). Fibroadenomas can sometimes be confused with cancer (phyllodes tumors). Cancer will get bigger and bigger while the fibroadenomas are relatively stable.
I don't know where you've read about the 90% chance of cancer inside the fibroadenoma but that's not true. Fibroadenomas must be excised with a clear margin to avoid treating a malignant tumor inadequately in case of a wrong diagnosis. If the diagnosis is certain, then cryoablation is an alternative which is associated with less scarring and injury on the breast.
Biopsy is the single most appropriate test in case there is doubt about the diagnosis.
Kind Regards!
