Biopsy Results: Understanding Atypical Cells & Suspicion for Malignancy


Question
I received the findings of my biopsy. Groups of ductal epithelial cells, some papillary and some discohesive, and many isolated cells with nuclear atypia highly suspicious for malignancy. Left Breast FNA, 12 O'ClOCK. Is this positive for cancer?

Answer
It is at least highly suspect for being a cancer lesion. The lesion should be removed for more pathology studies and if it is a cancer further actions are needed (what actions depends on the pathology, grade, size & stage of your lesion). Good luck! Please do keep me posted!
