According to the study, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, there are different types of benign lumps. If you have a lump removed, breast surgeon Anne Rosenberg says that you need to find out what kind of benign lump it is, because that will tell you your future risk for developing breast cancer. If you have one particular kind of benign lump, you could be 400 times more likely to get breast cancer. Pathologists who look at the tissue under the microscope will determine if it's cancerous or benign. If it is benign, a new study finds that the type of benign it is makes a big difference.

New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers estimate that one in five women who have a mammogram over the next ten years will require a biopsy to further investigate a suspicious lump. Waiting for these biopsy results can be agonizing. Yet most of the time women are told they have benign breast disease, not cancer. To learn more about how frequently women with benign breast disease go on to develop breast cancer, Lynn Hartmann, MD, a professor of oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues followed 9087 women who had been diagnosed with benign breast disease at the Mayo Clinic for 15 years. To date, 707 of these women have developed breast cancer. The study found that, overall, women who are diagnosed with benign breast disease are 56 percent more likely to develop breast cancer during the next 15 years. This increased risk is similar to that seen in previous studies on benign breast disease and breast cancer risk.
