A 49-year-old woman has a firm, 2-cm mass in the right breast that has been present for 3 months. She is not especially concerned about the lesion because she believes it was caused by trauma when she was hit in the breast by the corner of a cabinet. She has no family history of breast cancer. A mammogram 2 years ago was unremarkable. A mammogram at this time is read as "cannot rule out cancer," but it cannot diagnose cancer either. A fine-needle aspiration of the mass (FNA) and cytology do not identify any malignant cells. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?
A. Reassuranceand reappointmentinayear
B. Repeat mammogram and FNA in 1 month
C. Core or incisionalbiopsies
D. Lumpectomy and axillarydissection
E. Modified radicalmastectomy
