Overview

There are no recommended therapeutic interventions for the management of [disease name].

OR

[Name of intervention] is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. [Name of intervention] is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and [indication 3]

OR

The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy/surgery. [Name of intervention] is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and/or [indication 3].

OR

The feasibility of [name of intervention] depends on the stage of [disease or malignancy] at the time of diagnosis.

OR

[Name of intervention] is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].

Indications

Observation

  • Most fibroadenomas are managed conservatively with yearly breast examination and ultrasound if necessary. This is related to the fact that about 10 to 40% of fibroadenomas regress spontaneously.[1]
  • Reasons to undergo intervention of a fibroadenoma:[1]
  • Significant anxiety in a patient (despite knowing that the lesion has a low malignant potential)
  • Mass is greater than 5 cm in size
  • Rapidly enlarging size
  • Intense pain
  • Distortion of breast parenchyma
  • Cosmetic issues
  • Persistent mass with no regression
  • Hypercellular stroma on ultrasound
  • High malignant potential
  • Presence of a high risk genetic mutation or syndrome
  • Complex fibroadenoma
