Question 2

how do i remove a 4cm size breast lump?

Accepted Answer

Large breast lump: It all depends on what the diagnosis is. Usually, the diagnosis is made prior to operation, so the surgeon can plan ahead. A core needle biopsy established the diagnosis in the vast majoritynofninstances and is the first choice in the U.S.

can there be a typical size of a cancerous breast lump?

No set size: Ideally, a breast cancer is found before you can feel it. This is usually done via screening mammograms. If a lump is found, it needs to be further examined with mammograms to see if other lumps are present and some kind of biopsy to determine if it is a cancer.

Question 5

i have a pea-sized breast lump age 28, potential cancer risk?

Accepted Answer

Risk is VERY low!: Any breast lump can be benign or cancerous.  Important things are:  has it grown, changed, gotten harder, deformed, dimpled the skin, made the skin over it red or swollen, or become associated with lumps in your armpit?  At age 28, the chance of a lump being cancer is about 1/10,000 -- which is NOT zero. 

Please see a breast specialist for an exam, and likely an ultrasound. Good luck to you!
