Description
Delgado Casanova and colleagues followed a common breast-biopsy finding to see whether it really needs surgery, in this 2026 Breast Cancer Research and Treatment study. A radial sclerosing lesion is a benign, star-shaped scar-like area that mimics cancer on imaging; historically, surgeons removed such lesions to be safe. Their hospital reviewed four hundred nineteen lesions in three hundred ninety patients diagnosed by needle biopsy from 2020 to 2025.
Lesions that went on to repeat biopsy or surgical removal, sixty-three in all, turned up no cancer at all. Across the whole group, the estimated chance of cancer appearing at the lesion site within three years was zero. The authors support watching these lesions with imaging when biopsy sampling and imaging agree, sparing many women an operation.
