A member asked:
Can fibrocystic breast turn into breast cancer after you have menopause?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Simple fibrocystic change has no relationship to future cancer, and since basically all women have it, it's a non-predictor. Some of the proliferative lesions that used to grouped here do have some premalignant potential. If you have had a biopsy, your physician knows whether you have one of these. This is a good question and thanks for asking.
