Patients with malignant transformation of fibroadenoma first need to determine whether it has turned into breast cancer or a sarcoma. If it has become breast cancer, surgical treatment is required, along with chemotherapy and targeted therapy. If it has transformed into a sarcoma, the tumor can be surgically removed to achieve therapeutic effect.
