Hi Anon,

There is no correlation between fibrocystic changes and breast cancer. However, fibrocystic changes can make it more difficult to detect breast cancer. Being familiar with your breasts, and the changes throughout the month may be the best way to alleviate concerns about these cyclic changes.

Here are some resources you may find helpful:
