A member asked:
Would chemoprevention drugs be recommended for women with non proliferative breast leisons?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nonproliferative: breast lesions like cysts and apocrine changes are benign and don't turn into cancer, so there is little rationale for prevention or treatment unless, for example, the cysts are extremely painful.
