A member asked:
Had a breast cyst monitored every six months. now mammo say it has undefined borders. going for follow up mammo and ultrasound. cancer likelihood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to make: a determination with limited info and no images, but it sounds like it now has some suspicious features and may require needle biopsy. That said, the probability of cancer is probably relatively low, but not low enough to keep following it due to the interval change.
