Can Benign in the breast subsequently turn to cancer


Can Benign in the breast subsequently turn to cancer?
If a person has been diagnosed with Benign and is treated, should they continue monitoring or do regular check-ups in the future to make sure nothing more happens in reference to recurrence and the possibility of breast cancer developing?

When a person is diagnosed with benign what? “Benign” is not a diagnosis. Women should always continue regular checkups and mammograms whether they had this or not.

Yes, they should. It is very important to be Pro-active with your own health.

Yes they do continue to monitor for signs of breast cancer I had a benign tumor once they removed it but later on in life they found ductal incarcinoma insitu in same breast which required a masectomy. If they hadnt monitored this breast It could have been worse
