resent biopsy
by dink65, Oct 19, 2007 10:50AM
I recently unwent a breast biopsy with needle localization my path report states moderate typical ductal hyperplasia and two foci of moderate atypical ductal hyperplasia. I was told to keep up my yearly mammo. Prior to my biopsy I am considering a breat reduction. Is this still a good idea to consider a reduction? I am 42 yrs old with no family history.

Atypical ductal hyperplasia is not cancer nor is it a pre-cancerous lesion. But it does mean that the individual is predisposed to increased risk of cancer.
You should follow up with your doctor about the further management plan in your case. Only after that can you decide about the breast reduction surgery.
Let us know what your doctor tells you about getting the breast reduction surgery done.
Let us know if you have any other doubts and post us about how you are doing.
Regards.
