Treatment of breast intraductal papilloma mainly includes the following methods.
Surgical excision is the most common treatment. The affected duct and the tumor are removed through surgery to prevent the tumor from growing and potential malignant transformation. Minimally - invasive surgical techniques may be used to reduce damage to normal breast tissue and scarring.
For some small and non - symptomatic intraductal papillomas, close observation may be an option. Regular breast examinations, including mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are carried out to monitor the growth and changes of the tumor.
In addition, hormone - modulating therapies might be considered in some cases. If the growth of the intraductal papilloma is related to hormonal imbalances, drugs that regulate hormones can be used to slow down the growth of the tumor.
