Comparative genomic hybridization analysis of bilateral hyperplasia of usual type of the breast

Abstract excerpt

Hyperplasia of usual type (HUT) is part of the spectrum of benign proliferative disease in the breast and confers an increased risk of developing invasive cancer. Its role as a putative precursor of invasive ductal carcinomas in the breast is, however, controversial.
