Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a question I would like to consult you about. What is the difference between breast hyperplasia and breast cancer? I have a 34-year-old female friend who recently she has breast cancer, and I also have breast hyperplasia. I want to know the difference between the two.Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia and breast cancer are two completely different diseases. Breast hyperplasia is a common benign breast disease in women, while breast cancer is a malignant tumor of the breast. Breast hyperplasia can recur with breast pain symptoms, whereas breast cancer forms breast nodules that show no symptoms in the early stages. They are often discovered during breast self-examinations. If early breast cancer is detected, it is necessary to promptly undergo surgical removal treatment.
