Hello, general question: does breast lumps (finding on ultrasound) for a women age 71, can be benign or higher chance its cancer?

Breast lump: The risk for breast cancer increases for women in their older years. However, biopsy will be the determinant as to whether the woman's lump is from a malignancy or is benign.
