Conditions We Treat

Dr. Radzio treats benign (noncancerous), high-risk, and cancerous conditions of the breast.

Benign breast conditions include:

• Breast cysts and calcifications
• Nipple discharge

• Intraductal papilloma: Lump in the milk ducts of the breast
• Phyllodes (mostly benign) and desmoid (benign) tumors: rare tumors that arise from the breast connective tissue

High-risk breast conditions are noncancerous but may increase your future breast cancer risk. To ensure there is no progression to cancer, treatment may be recommended.

High-risk breast conditions include:

• Flat epithelial atypia and atypical ductal hyperplasia: Abnormal cells within the milk ducts
• Radial scar or complex sclerosing lesion: A scar-like change in the breast that may be caused by another condition
• Atypical lobular hyperplasia: Abnormal cells in the breast lobules
• Lobular carcinoma in situ: Abnormal cells in the breast lobules, which can be high-risk for cancer in both breasts
