Breast cancer risk associated with atypical hyperplasia and lobular carcinoma in situ initially diagnosed on core ‐needle biopsy

CONCLUSIONSIn patients who had an initial diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ on core biopsy, the 7‐year cumulative breast cancer incidence was 9.9%. Most tumors were ipsilateral, stage I, estrogen receptor‐positive, invasive carcinomas. The current data support close clinical and radiologic follow‐up for more than 5 years in this patient population. Cancer 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.
