Dear cbgsc, A finding of
atypicalAtypical pneumonia hyperplasia is looked at as a risk
factorFactor ix complex for development of breast cancer (or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ [DCIS]). We don't know if it means that
atypicalAtypical pneumonia hyperplasia
leadsLead poisoning to cancer or that the conditions that allow atypical hyperplasia to be present also would let cancer (or DCIS) be present.
Close follow-up is the usual recommended course of action, this is in order to find an intraductal cancer (DCIS) or invasive cancer at an early stage. This would include physical examination by a doctor every six months, and yearly mammograms. If you have not sought a consultation with a breast specialist, you may want to do so. They could evaluate, advise and recommend a plan for follow-up and surveillance, specific to you.
Whether a surgical biopsy is necessary would be through evaluation of all testing, and whether there was concern that an adequate sample of the area was not obtained.
