Background: The management of high-risk breast lesions diagnosed on image-guided core biopsy remains controversial. We implemented a high-risk breast conference attended by breast pathologists, imagers, and surgeons to prospectively review all contemporary cases in order to provide a consensus recommendation to either surgically excise or follow on imaging at 6-month intervals for a minimum of 2 years.
Methods: Between May, 2015 and June, 2019, 127 high-risk lesions were discussed.
