A member asked:
How much does a cyst have to grow before it should be biopsied in a breast.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other options: If it is a cyst, a biopsy may not be the only option. A cyst can be aspirated and the cells in the fluid examined to test for a tumor. It would be prudent to discuss the issue with your doctor.
