A member asked:

My test results came back it is flat epithelial atypia can u please explain in laymans terms what this is . i have very to see a surgeon ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best to follow up: Flat epithelial atypia isn't cancer or pre-invasive cancer but there's often something more troublesome nearby. Especially since you describe a discharge, you need to see a surgeon anyway.
