While it is estimated that more than 300 000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2025, even more women are diagnosed with benign breast conditions that often require medical or surgical intervention.

The newly released consensus guidelines for managing benign breast fibroepithelial lesions, developed by the American Society of Breast Surgeons and the Society of Breast Imaging, recommend against routine excision of biopsy-proven, concordant fibroadenomas without atypia. For benign phyllodes tumors, surgical excision is required, but negative margins are unnecessary due to low recurrence risk. These recommendations aim to support nuanced, evidence-informed management for the high volume of patients diagnosed with benign breast disease.

In this podcast episode, listen to authors Katharine Yao, MD, and Lorraine Tafra, MD, discuss these guidelines and more, with Jamie Coleman, MD, Web and Deputy Editor of JAMA Surgery.
