Is There Any Connections Between Cancerous Fibroids And Breast Cancer?
a colleague has just been diagnosed with fibroids, she has had a scan and has to wait until the 17 nov to see her gp for the results due to her gp s holiday. she has just identified a lump in her breast, has seen another stand in gp which happened to be a man so she did not feel very comfortable talking to him about her breast. he has referred her so hopefully she will hear soon. is there any connections between cancerous fibroids and breast cancer please?

Hi,
According to the FDA, if the woman also has uterine cancer, this procedure can risk spreading cancer within the abdomen and pelvis, making it harder to treat. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus. They are very common and often do not cause symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
