Breast 4b is actually a benign tumor

Category 4B breast lesions are not all benign and require high vigilance and early diagnosis.

There is a commonly used grading system for breast diseases in imaging diagnosis, namely BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System), which is used to assess the risk of malignancy of lesions in breast imaging examinations. Among them, the 4B category belongs to the middle level among the 4 levels, indicating that the lesion has a 10% to 50% chance of being malignant. When hearing the "4B" grading, many people will feel confused or even anxious, thinking that the problem must be very serious. But in fact, lesions at this level can be either benign or malignant, and further diagnosis is needed.

In imaging, 4B lesions often show special manifestations, such as blurred edges, irregular shapes, or calcifications. Although these signs may be related to malignant tumors, many benign conditions are also classified into this category, such as fibroadenomas, proliferative breast lesions, or atypical ductal hyperplasia. Sometimes, because of atypical imaging manifestations, doctors have to classify lesions as 4B for the sake of caution to attract sufficient attention, and further determine the nature through biopsy and other means.

If you find that your imaging test results contain 4B, you don't need to panic too much, but follow the doctor's advice to conduct further necessary confirmation tests, such as histopathological biopsy. Only by observing the specific morphology of cells under a microscope can the nature of the lesion be finally confirmed. During this period, it is very important to maintain a good attitude and a healthy lifestyle, and follow up on time. If the lesion is confirmed to be benign, you can choose to observe or take appropriate treatment as recommended by the doctor; if it is determined to be malignant, you can also start treatment as soon as possible to increase the chance of cure.

Being able to check breast health regularly is part of maintaining body balance. It is recommended that female friends have breast imaging examinations every year, such as ultrasound examinations or molybdenum target X-rays, and pay more attention to breast health. Once abnormalities are found, taking the next step in time can minimize the potential risk of disease. You should also pay attention to healthy eating, weight control, and reducing high-fat food intake on weekdays to add a protective barrier to breast health.
