A member asked:
I had a cyst removed in 1997. my 3 sisters have all had some kind of pre cancer cells. now i have a 4.8 cm cyst. will i need surgery to remove it too?

Follow the same appr: Based on the history with your sisters, it is wise to consider surgical removal. Where is the cyst located? Ovary? Let your personal doctor guide you. There is time to think about options and plan further intervention carefully.
