A Category 3 mammogram result indicates that there is an abnormality in the breast that is probably benign, but which the doctor nonetheless believes needs to be monitored.
Follow-up mammograms usually are repeated every 6 months for a year, and then annually for 2 years. By keeping a watchful eye on following mammograms, a doctor can track the abnormality for any changes that could indicate cancer.
A Category 3 mammogram result requires diligent monitoring, without having to subject a patient to biopsy.
