Fibroadenoma is the most common type of benign tumor found in the breast, primarily affecting young women aged 15 to 35. While the risk of malignant transformation in breast fibroadenomas is extremely low, Dr. Ying Wai Leung, a Specialist in General Surgery at Chiron Medical, emphasizes the importance of regular check-ups to ensure optimal breast health. Currently, there is no proven method to prevent fibroadenomas. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and undergoing regular examinations are crucial healthcare practices that can help manage overall breast health.

Breast fibromas are the most common benign tumors clinically and represent abnormal tissue proliferation.
Mainly affects young women between the ages of 15 and 35, with the incidence decreasing with age.
During a self-examination, fibroadenoma are most visible on the outside and upper part of the breast and are usually painless.
There is currently no clear cause of fibroadenoma and therefore no effective method of prevention.
Even if fibroadenoma are larger than 5cm, the chance of malignant transformation is only 0.3%.
Regular breast check up and imaging scans (every six months to a year) are key to good health.
Fibroadenoma may recur after surgery, and it is necessary to ensure clean surgical removal to reduce the risk of recurrence.
