BREAST BIOPSY
Sorry to bother so much, i asked the question about having a hard part of my breast after a core needle biopsy which shows a 1cm fibrodeanoma. You told me that i have the possibility of having a scar tissue on my breast. Is it normal to have a scar tissue on my breast after a biopsy? could i have a problem next month on my follow-up. I'm so scare about breast cancer! i've been reading so much about developing cancer after a biosy! is this true???
Thank you in advance.
Thank you in advance.
Dear Heidyrenz25, Scar tissue can develop after a biopsy and is a possible explanation for the hardness felt after a biopsy, although without examination it is impossible to know. A biopsy does not cause breast cancer to occur. A biopsy is done to obtain a specimen so the cells from the area of concern can be examined under a microscope to see whether there is cancer or not. If you have continuing concerns about your biopsy area, you should return to your doctor for further evaluation.
Thank you very much!
