A member asked:
Why do benign breast lumps need a close clinical follow-up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Important: Most breast cysts are benign, however some can mask other problems so they need to be monitored to asses for changes. Solid lumps likewise are largely benign, but they are more likely than cysts to develop into something more worrisome
