Unilateral Breast Neoplasms

Unilateral breast neoplasms are lumps or tumors that originate in the breast and are found in only one breast. They can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Unilateral breast neoplasms are usually detected with a physical exam or with imaging tests such as mammograms. Treatment varies depending on the type of neoplasm, but may include surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. Early detection and treatment of unilateral breast neoplasms can greatly improve outcomes and play a key role in breast cancer prevention.
