Can a cyst become cancerous? Now, here's the big question.That's again the cancer fear that all women have. The answer, I'd say is no. This has been looked at pretty, pretty extensively. There was a rather large study I think it was in Sweden. They looked at something like 90,000 - they've got a very sophisticated system of registry in Sweden where they can look at data. And something like ninety thousand women were paired with 90,000 normal ones and the various kinds of cysts, endometriomas, the functional cyst, the non-functional cyst. And they said "Well what's the likelihood any of these women come back for ovary cancer"? And there was no difference. If you had an ovary cyst that was benign you had no increased incidence of having cancer later. The only difference in this was endometrioma which had a slight increase difference. And possibly the reason for that is something to do with estrogen sensitivity around the ovary. But again it's, it was somewhat more common but it's nothing to say "My gosh, I've got endometrioma, by now! I've got to have cancer". That should be the farthest thing from a persons mind. So I'd say without question your - The fact that one has a cyst it is...more

Determining the breast cancer stages is important since it enables the patient and doctor to identify the treatment necessary for one's condition. Also, it is essential in assessing the risk of the given condition and what lifestyle changes the patient can do to improve their health. Identifying A Breast Cancer's StageWhen talking about breast cancer stages, it is aimed at describing the extent of the cancer in the body. So, if you ask how a breast cancer is staged, doctors often start to classify whether it is invasive or non-invasive. Other factors considered are the tumor size, number of nymph modes involved, and what other parts of the body it has managed to affect. Determining a cancer's stage is helpful during prognosis and deciding on a treatment option.To determine the stage, a few standard procedures are done by the doctor on a patient. They undergo physical exam and biopsy to acquire the data needed by the doctor for the diagnosis. If needed, further tests are also conducted such as imaging tests that include x-ray, bone scans, mammograms for the breasts, CT scans, positron emission tomography (PET), and magentic resonance imaging.
