Question : What does malignant neoplasm of right breast mean?

Answered by Dr. Noble Zachariah (20 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Right breast contains a new growth which may be cancerous

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
I would like to know where you saw this term. If it is on an imaging study like mamogram, it means that there is a growth in the right breast which is suspicious of malignancy or cancer. It should be investigated further by a biopsy which will either confirm it or exclude the malignancy.
If it is on a biopsy it means that you need to take treatment to remove it completely and to prevent its spread.
Do get back to me with further queries.
Take care.
