A member asked:

60yo mom's mammogram found an irregular shaped, enlarged, non-fatty lymph node near breast. any reason not cancer related? 4 masses in right breast only too

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast lump: There are other possible causes but a biopsy is necessary to make the diagnosis and get proper treatment underway. Even breast cancer has a high success rate for response in most cases, especially after menopause.
