A member asked:

Age 33. if fibroadenoma stability documented using sono, what is usual monitoring? does monitoring include maamo and/or sono? repeated mammo safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best monitor: core needle biopsy , and conformation it is fibroadenoma not a malignant lesion . If it is not done then you need all the needless tests , confirmation is only by biopsy not the all other tests.
