What is Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia?
Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a medical condition in which the cells which line the milk ducts of the breasts experience abnormal growth. This condition is not cancerous, but an incidence of atypical ductal hyperplasia can indicate an increased cancer risk for a woman. As a result, doctors usually recommend careful monitoring and follow-up in patients who have exhibited atypical ductal hyperplasia in one or both breasts.
