A member asked:
Breast tumor biopsy revealed 'canercous changes'. what are they?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast Cancer: I assume that either your question or the pathology report contained this typo: cancerous changes means that the breast tumor is malignant. Whoever ordered and/or performed the biopsy is in the best position to explain all the details of the report--looking at 2 words alone can be misleading.
