Your report is suspicious for carcinoma or it could be carcinoma in situ.
It means cancer of the duct of the breast.
Confirm diagnosis should done by the lumpectomy and lesion should sent for histopathological report.
Radiation and hormonal therapy will useful according to report.
So consult the oncologist surgeon take proper treatment.
