Aging July 21, 2005 Most women with breast lumps or other abnormalities that turn out to be non-cancerous do not face a substantially greater risk of developing breast cancer later, especially if they have little family history of the disease, a reassuring study found. However, certain "benign" growths are not so harmless and may be precursors to cancer, it also found. Women with these may want to consider surgery or tamoxifen to lower their risk, doctors say. The study was one of the largest to look at cancer risk according to the types of benign growths women had. It involved 9,087 women biopsied from 1967 to 1991 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. The findings were reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The information could be useful to a large number of women. In a decade of having mammograms, one out of five women will have a biopsy, and most biopsies will reveal benign growths, two specialists wrote in an accompanying editorial. Overall, such women are 56 percent more likely to develop cancer during the next 15 years, the study found the same conclusion previous ones reached. But the new work shows how much this risk varies from very little to more than four times normal depending on what the growths look like under the microscope.

Extractions: Ask an Expert: Benign breast lumps and breast cancer risk Q. I recently had a benign breast lump removed. It turned out to be a fibroadenoma, and my doctor said it was totally benign. Still, Im worried does this mean Im at an increased risk of breast cancer? Answer from the expert staff of breast cancer research at the Robert W. Franz Cancer Research Center at Providence Portland Medical Center: Probably not. The great majority of benign breast lumps do not increase a womans risk of breast cancer. Lumps that do increase breast cancer risk include those showing evidence of excessive cell growth, called hyperplasia; abnormal cell growth, called dysplasia; or both, a condition called atypical hyperplasia. About 25 percent of benign breast lumps show signs of hyperplasia. According to the National Cancer Institute, women who have a breast lump with evidence of hyperplasia have a slightly increased risk of breast cancer. About 5 percent of benign breast lumps show evidence of atypical hyperplasia. According to the National Cancer Institute, women who have a breast lump showing atypical hyperplasia have a moderately increased risk of breast cancer.

Women's Health - Body - 4Health From Channel 4 Nine out of ten breast lumps are benign, but no one should ignore them, says Nikki West, NetDoctor article which discusses benign breast lumps, http://www.channel4.com/health/microsites/0-9/4health/body/whe_lumps.html
Extractions: 'Nine out of ten breast lumps are benign, but no one should ignore them,' says Nikki West, senior clinical nurse specialist at Cardiff Breast Unit. She explains that the most common type of lump in young women is called a fibroadenoma. It's harmless and definitely not cancer. It just means that there's been some extra growth in some of the breast tissue. A fibroadenoma tends to feel smooth and slippery, like a marble, and may move around under the skin when you touch it. Some fibroadenomas are several small lumps stuck together. Another common type of harmless breast lump is a cyst. This is a small sac in the breast which fills with fluid. It can come up quite suddenly and quickly and may hurt. There may be several cysts in one or both breasts, and they can come back. Some women get cysts several times during their life, usually between the ages of 25 and 45. Although breast cysts are harmless in themselves, women who get them do seem to be more likely to get breast cancer. So, as with any lump, it's really important to get them checked out, even if you've had several of them before.
Extractions: Outpatient Procedure Shrinks Benign Breast Lumps Breast cryotherapy is a safe, effective and nearly painless office-based procedure that significantly reduces benign breast lumps without damaging breast structure, according to a study presented today at the 89th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Cryotherapy for breast fibroadenomas, or fibrous benign lumps, is an ultrasound-guided procedure that uses exceptionally cold temperatures to freeze and kill abnormal tissue. Interventional radiologists numb the breast tissue around the mass and insert a cryoprobe, which is similar to a large needle, into the middle of the lesion. An ice ball forms at the tip of the probe and continues to grow until the ultrasound confirms that the entire lump has been engulfed, killing the tissue. There are three major advantages of cryotherapy for breast fibroadenomas. The first benefit is visualization. Ice is easily visualized with both ultrasound and CT, making the procedure safe and effective. Second, cryotherapy is virtually painless when the area around the tumor is numbed with a local anesthetic. The third benefit is the improved cosmetic outcome since cryotherapy preserves the breast's supporting tissue and does not leave significant surgical scars. The researchers treated 42 fibroadenomas in 27 patients with ultrasound-guided cryotherapy to evaluate outcomes and patient acceptance of cryotherapy for breast fibroadenomas originally planned for surgical removal. On average, the fibroadenomas were reduced in size by 73 percent. No significant complications were noted, and patients were pleased with the cosmetic results.

Extractions: Introduction: A lump in the breast immediately brings fear of breast cancer , although most breast lumps are benign breast cysts. However, the failure to identify a breast lump as breast cancer is a common misdiagnosis (and a common allegation in malpractice law), and the survival rate after delayed detection is much lower, so the importance of correctly diagnosing a breast lump cannot be understated. There are also other causes of lumps in the breast or related region. Breast-feeding women are prone to breast lumps from mastitis .

Extractions: Home Health Information Health Topics A to Z Health Topics A to Z Women's Health The two most common types of benign breast lumps are cysts and fibroadenomas. In addition, there are several other conditions that can present themselves as lumps, such as fat necrosis and sclerosing adenosis. A cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the breast tissue, which typically occurs in women between the ages of 35 and 50 and is most common in women approaching menopause. They often enlarge and become tender and painful just before the menstrual period and may seem to appear overnight. Cysts are rarely malignant and may be caused by a blockage of breast glands. Cysts can feel either soft or hard. When close to the surface of the breast, cysts can feel like a large blister, smooth on the outside, but fluid-filled on the inside. However, when they are deeply imbedded in breast tissue, a cyst will feel like a hard lump because is covered with tissue. How are cysts diagnosed and treated?

Extractions: Benign Breast Conditions Format for Printing A benign breast condition is any non-cancerous breast abnormality. According to the American Cancer Society, when breast tissue is examined under a microscope some type of abnormality is common in nine out of every ten women. Though not life-threatening, benign conditions may cause pain or discomfort for some patients. Some (not all) benign conditions can signal an increased risk for breast cancer. The most common benign breast conditions include fibrocystic breast condition , benign breast tumors, and breast inflammation. Depending on the type of benign breast condition and the patient's medical situation, treatment may or may not be necessary. Main menu: Overview: Breast Tissue Changes The breast is composed of two main types of tissues: glandular tissues and stromal (supporting) tissues. The glandular tissues house the milk-producing lobules and the ducts (the milk passages). The stromal tissues include fatty and fibrous connective tissue. Any changes in the glandular or stromal areas may cause symptoms of benign breast conditions. Some women experience changes to their breast tissue over their lifetime. These changes can include an increase in the number of breast cells (hyperplasia) or the emergence of atypical breast cells (atypical hyperplasia). In some instances, a portion of breast tissue that exhibits abnormal characteristics can eventually develop into a cancerous tumor. That is why physicians carefully monitor patients with abnormal breast cells, to ensure that if cancer develops at a later date, it is detected and treated early. Some patients with atypical hyperplasia may also be recommended to take the drug

Before your menstrual period begins, and sometimes during your period, you can have some tenderness, pain, or lumps in your breasts. This could be due to the extra fluid that collects in the breast tissue (cyst) as well as changes in the body's hormonal levels. This is normal. But if the lumps do not disappear before your next period, contact your doctor as soon as possible. Any noticeable change, thickening or localized swelling in your breast that was not there before may be a lump. Eighty-five percent of all breast lumps found are benign. Some common benign breast problems that appear as lumps are: Cystic Disease (fibrocystic breast disease) is the most common cause of breast lumps in women. These lumps or cysts are fluid-filled sacs that enlarge and become tender and painful before the menstrual cycle. This condition is responsible for at least half of all breast biopsies performed. It tends to involve both breasts. These lumps are movable, and if large may feel round and firm. Cystic disease usually disappears after menopause.
