What Signs Indicate Fibroids In The Uterus Turning Into Cancerous?

Hello, my name is Cynthia Smith, I am 66 years old, and 22 months ago I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I had my right breast removed, with only one lymph necessarily removed, resulting in a Stage I pathology report. I have been on 1 mg Arimidex ever since. Now, I was just diagnosed with a fibroid rumor on my uterus. What is the likelihood that this is cancer?

Hello,

Fibroid rarely turns malignant.

You can get it removed and send for biopsy to check why it is cancerous or not.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
