Do atypia lobular hyperplasia regress?

[jingshui]

On July 21  my radiologist found a suspicious lesion in my left breast on ultrasound with dimensions 7mm by 7mm.  I refused the biopsy because I am afraid biopsy would spread cancer cells.  On August 24, my lesion measured a little smaller but might be the same due to measurement errors.  On December 1, my lesion measured 6mm by 3mm and that was reported with confidence.  Do I need an excisional biopsy?  My left breast was injured during previous Mammograms when Tech would let the upper bar fall onto my breast and smashed it down very hard.  I felt there is a lot of inflammation and I would like to give my body a chance to heal.  I also was tested HPV positive in 2007.  I am afraid that I have atypia hyperplasia.  Will surgery spread the abnormal cells?  If my body is healing, will surgery interrupt its healing process?  My body seems to have found the trigger for the regression of the lesion.  Will surgery confuse my body and lose the ability to find the trigger again to regress the lesion?  My left breast looked a lot bigger than my right breast in October, but it is now looking much smaller and is almost the same size as the right one.  Do atypia hyperplasia regress or be replaced by normal cells over time?  If atypia lobular hyperplasia is found in one location of the breast--the obvious lesion, it means there will be atypia hyperplasia in other areas of the same breast or in the other breast.  So, excisional biopsy will not do any good.  I am on a strict low-estrogen diet which has been effective in shrinking the lesion.  Excisional biopsy or not?  I personally do not feel surgery is a good treatment for breast cancer.

Hi,
Atypical Lobular hyperplasia is a precancerous condition that affects cells in the breast. Over the course of your lifetime if the atypical hyperplasia cells keep dividing and become more abnormal, your condition may be reclassified as carcinoma in SITU or noninvasive breast cancer.
If you are diagnosed with Atypical Lobular Hyperplasia, do what you can do to reduce your risk of developing breast cancer. Please be mindful that women between the ages of 45 to 55 with atypical hyperplasia have the highest risk. One never knows when cancer can develop….. For this reason doctors recommend close monitoring to determine if the cells are developing into a tumor, which happened in your case. When this happens, it is highly recommended to remove the growth through a wide local excision or lumpectomy (removal of the abnormal tissue along with the edges of the normal surrounding tissue).
If you are not sure on how to proceed, you could consult a Breast specialist for a second opinion.
For your information, be confident that an excisional biopsy will NOT spread abnormal or cancerous cells.
Take care..
