Scheduled For Wire Needle Biopsy For Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia, Advised To Used Estrogen Blockers Till Then. Suggestion?
Hi, I had a wire needle biopsy on Monday because of Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia . I should get the results tomorrow afternoon. The doctor wants to place me into a high risk management situation and is talking about Estrogen Blockers. I am very aprehensive about those and wonder if they are warrented at this stage, especially if we do not find any cancer in the pathology report. I am 52 years old and pre-menopausal.

Hi
Estrogen blockers are not indicated unless cancer is confirmed.
But,atypical hyperplasia is high risk factor for cancer.
So,in order to prevent cancer,your doctor might have told it.
But,you can take it as a precautionary measure.
Wish you good health
Regards
