Does Having Intraductal Papilloma Indicate Cancer?
I had an intraductal papilloma removed yesterday. I received today a letter that I need to see an Oncologist it was dated 30 MARCH? Does this mean that I have cancer? It was through the Veterans Administration. Perhaps it was an overlaps in the mailing system. Any help you can provide I d appreciate and Happy Easter!

Dear patient,
Intraductal papilloma of the breast is a benign tumour, while cancer is a malignant tumour, so you don't have cancer. Yo have received that letter because tumours (benign or malignant) are following up by oncologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
