If you've ever had an abnormal breast biopsy, this may indicate an increased breast cancer risk. Cysts and fibrosis have not been linked with elevated breast cancer risk, but conditions that come under the heading of "proliferative lesions" raise breast cancer risk one to two times higher than normal, while a condition known as "hyperplasia" raises breast cancer risk four to five times higher than normal.
