My question is, whether previously detected Fibrocystic mastopathy right breast (December 2014)is related to currently diagnosed(December 2016) Invasive ductal CA right breast)
Brief Answer:
Hello. It seems unrelated
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So if the previous tissue was correctly labelled as fibrocystic disease then there is no relation between previous diagnosis and cancer as fibrocystic disease is benign and doesnot lead to cancer development.
Only dilemma is that whether the 2014 lesion was wrongly labelled as benign fibrocystic disease.
Thanks and regards
