A member asked:

I have two cysts with dense tisse in my left breast, should they be removed?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Biopsy first: If they are new findings compared to last mammogram or sonogram from last year, you should get biopsy done first.

No: If the radiologist is confident there is no cancer risk and/or the pathologist who looked at the needle biopsy is confident that this is not cancer, remove / aspirate them only if they really bother you.
