I have 2 large clusters of indeterminate microcalcifications in right breast. i'm 49, no fam. history or risk factors for bc. what % is benign?

Most: However, do not lose sight of the fact that most breast cancers are sporadic. That is not family related. A stereotactic core biopsy of these calcification will change from indeterminate to I know what you are. Although most calcification are benign you cannot be certain until the science says so
