in FNAC reprt atypical ductal epithelium found what does the treatment or what to do?

[Dr. Kokil Mathur]

Hi!
Actually atypical ductal epithelium in breast is a situation hovering between a benign condition called flat epithelial hyperplasia and a condition raising suspicion of cancer or malignancy called atypical ductal hyperplasia. In simple words, it is a precancerous condition. Usually a wait and watch policy is adopted with increased emphasis on self examination and mammography. If you are found to be at increased risk of breast cancer then you may be taken up for surgery to remove this. Please be in touch with your doctor. Take care!
