Fibrocystic breast disease: every woman is at risk.
Fibrocystic breast disease refers to a constellation of breast changes observed in premenopausal women, and 90% of all women experience evidence of pathophysiologic changes in the breast during their lifetime. Although most breast changes are harmless, women need to be concerned with the increased risk of breast cancer, one of the leading causes of death in women in the United States.
