Can The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic Provide Second Opinions on All BI-RADS 3 Breast Abnormalities?
The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic can provide second opinions on all BI-RADS 3 breast abnormalities, including:
- Fibroadenomas – These are benign tumors that develop in the breast. They often feel firm and rubbery.
- Cysts – Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the breasts. They’re usually noncancerous but may need to be drained if they become painful.
- Papillomas – Papillomas are small, wart-like growths that grow in the ducts of your breasts. These are usually harmless but can cause discharge from the nipple.
- Sclerosing adenosis – This condition causes small lumps in the breasts, which may be painful. It’s not associated with an increased risk of cancer.
- Radial scars – These small clusters of cells can appear similar to breast cancer on a mammogram but are actually benign.
