Answered by Dr. Sridhar Susheela

The fine needle aspiration report indicates a possibility of either a cellular fibroadenoma or intraductal carcinoma. These conditions can present as breast lumps and are usually benign or less concerning. It is normal to feel anxious, but the next step is important for clarity. An excisional biopsy is advisable to help differentiate between these two possibilities accurately. I encourage you to consult your oncologist for a thorough discussion and to explore any additional tests or imaging.

I am 29 year female and having pain I'm my right breast not on the whole breast only one side and when I press pain is more .

Female | Lima Bailung

Unilateral breast pain or the heavier side of the breast, when you press in this particular, can be caused by mastitis. Mastitis describes a situation where a milk duct becomes blocked or infected. Further symptoms may involve feeling hot, red, or swollen in the same area. It's crucial to see a healthcare provider who can make the correct diagnosis and treatment. They might give you antibiotics, or do compressions to reduce the pain and swelling with the last alternative. Self-care measures can be an adjunct to medical treatment, thus it should be a priority to seek guidance from a professional in healthcare.

Hello, I want to know if breasts are removed in Breast Cancer surgeries, or are there any other methods in which there is no need of removing the whole breasts?

Female | 46

The biology and behavior of breast cancer will be considered for planning the treatment of breast cancer. Treatment options also depends on several factors like the tumor subtype, hormone receptor status, stage of the tumor, patient's age, general health, menopausal status, and preferences. The presence of known mutations in inherited breast cancer genes, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2. There are some general steps commonly preferred for treating early-stage and locally advanced breast cancer. Doctors generally recommend surgery to remove the tumor in breast. Though the goal of surgery is to remove all the cancer which is visible but microscopic cells sometimes remain behind. Therefore another surgery may be required. For cancers which are large or are rapidly growing, the clinician suggest systemic treatment with chemotherapy or hormonal therapy before surgery. This is called neo-adjuvant therapy. This helps in shrinking the tumor which is easy to operate; also breast can be preserved in some cases. After surgery it is important to check for recurrence. Then adjuvant therapy is advised. Adjuvant therapies may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or hormonal therapy When surgery to remove the cancer is not possible, it is called inoperable, and then Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and/or hormonal therapy may be given to shrink the cancer. For recurrent cancer, treatment options depend on how the cancer was first treated and the characteristics of the cancer. What will be the line of treatment in your case will depend on your clinical condition. You can take one more opinion to a clear understanding of your concerns. Consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai, or any other city you find convenient.

Female | 19

The painful breast mass you're experiencing could be due to various conditions, such as fibroadenomas or breast cysts, but it’s important to take note of it. However, if the lump has been present for two years and is now growing and becoming more painful, it's crucial to rule out more serious conditions like breast cancer. Since I can’t examine you in person, I strongly recommend seeking medical attention immediately, especially given these changes. The earlier treatment begins, the better the potential outcome.
