| description | Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a benign lesion of the breast that is associated with an increased risk of invasive breast cancer. This review explores the pathophysiology, risk factors for progression to breast cancer, and lifetime management for patients diagnosed with ADH on core needle biopsy (CNB). The management plan for patients diagnosed with ADH includes regular clinical surveillance, diagnostic mammography, along with risk-reduction strategies such as lifestyle modifications or the use of adjuvant endocrine therapies. This review aims to delve into the complexities of ADH from diagnosis to management to aid clinicians in finding the best way to approach this high-risk breast lesion. |
