Have Amorphous Microcalcification And Calcific Particles. Scheduled For Biopsy. Chances Of Cancer?
Hi, I am going to have a excisional biopsy to remove an intraductal papilloma. Chart shows I also have inumerable amphorus microcalcifications and one large calcific particles. They said there might be something hiding as the core biopsy was inconclusive except the papilloma is benign. What are the chances this could be cancerous?
I'm worried.

Hi, the chance of cancer in a calcification associated with intraductal papilloma is unlikely it is not associated with any atypical features which are seen under a microscope when pre malignant lesion as in ductal hyperplasia are seen.Once excised the intraductal pappiloma does not requiure further treatment
