HI! Thank You for the information on the birads score. If you can help me with another question? Can a nodule become cancerous?
Thank You for your time and help.
Hi there.
BIRADS is a standardized form of reporting for mammograms, and this would say if the findings are more likely benign, malignant, or would need further evaluation.
Birads 3 means:
Probably Benign - Breast mammogram findings are most likely benign (>90%), short term follow up test is necessary
However, I believe that your nodule needs to be followed up closely, just as what the BIRADS score recommends. Though the chance of being benign is high, there is still that small chance of being malignant (more on the BIRADS score here: (http://biradsclass.blogspot.com/).
Have regular follow ups with your doctors and report to him anything that you might experience.
Regards and God bless.
