A member asked:
Is surgery the only way to treat a fibroadenoma cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: The current guidelines do require a tissue sample that can be done by a core biopsy to prove that this is a fibroadenoma. This is not an open surgery. There are several options for treatment depending on the size and your symptoms. You should consult your breast surgeon for a discussion to decide what is the best approach for you.
