Breast

Overview

Breast nodules are a common symptom of breast hyperplasia (which can form breast cysts) and breast neoplastic diseases, including benign breast tumors (such as breast fibroids, lobulated tumors, etc.) and breast malignancies (breast cancer).

Symptom

Signs and symptoms of breast cancer may include:

● A breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue
● Change in the size, shape or appearance of a breast
● Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling
● A newly inverted nipple
● Peeling, scaling, crusting or flaking of the pigmented area of skin surrounding the nipple (areola) or breast skin
● Redness or pitting of the skin over your breast, like the skin of an orange

Treatment

RFA can be used a safe adjunctive therapy in patients with smaller tumors and clinically negative nodes, it helps to reduce repeat excision rates and may reduce adjuvant radiotherapy in some patients while providing good to excellent cosmetic results.
