Multidisciplinary considerations in the management of high-risk breast lesions

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2012 Feb;198(2):W132-40. doi: 10.2214/AJR.11.7799.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this review is to discuss the controversy and lack of consensus in the management of high-risk breast lesions, including flat epithelial atypia, atypical ductal hyperplasia, lobular neoplasia, radial scar, papillary lesions, and mucocelelike lesions, after diagnosis with core needle biopsy.

Conclusion: A single uniform approach may not be appropriate for the management of all high-risk breast lesions. A multidisciplinary team may offer individualized treatment options for patients.
