A member asked:
Is it possible for a breast apocrine cyst to turn cancerous following core biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not due to Biopsy: Doing a biopsy of any tumor does not change its nature. So you do not have to worry about the biopsy causing breast Cancer. it will reveal what you already have: either a benign condition or Cancer. This is determined by examination of the biopsy material(tissue) under the microscope. Good luck
