FAQ

Breast cysts and fibroadenomas are similar in texture and have many common characteristics. • They are not of concern, but it must be confirmed that they are cysts. • Diagnosis is made through a triple assessment (examination, x-rays, and fluid aspiration for analysis.

Benign or fibrous tumors in the breast cannot become malignant. They typically remain stable in size, though they may grow slowly at times. However, regular monitoring through early detection methods (mammograms and ultrasounds) is necessary to ensure that no cancerous cells develop within the benign mass.

There are no specific causes, but there are risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer, such as:

  • Genetic factors (family medical history).
  • History of breast cancer or breast tumors.
  • Advancing age.
  • Increased body weight.
  • Exposure to excessive doses of radiation therapy.
