Histopathologic types of breast cancer, with relative incidences and prognoses, with "invasive lobular carcinoma" at top right. Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is breast cancer arising from the lobules of the mammary glands. [ 1] It accounts for 5–10% of invasive breast cancer. [ 2][ 3] Rare cases of this carcinoma have been diagnosed in men ...
[15] [4] [5] In developing countries, five-year survival rates are lower. [2] Worldwide, breast cancer is the leading type of cancer in women, accounting for 25% of all cases. [16] In 2018, it resulted in two million new cases and 627,000 deaths. [17] It is more common in developed countries, [2] and is more than 100 times more common in women ...
Staging of breast cancer is one aspect of breast cancer classification that assists in making appropriate treatment choices, when considered along with other classification aspects such as estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor levels in the cancer tissue, the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status, menopausal status, and the ...
TNM staging system. The TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors ( TNM) is a globally recognised standard for classifying the anatomical extent of the spread of malignant tumours (cancer). It has gained wide international acceptance for many solid tumor cancers, but is not applicable to leukaemia or tumors of the central nervous system.
[2] Triple-negative breast cancer comprises 15–20% of all breast cancer cases [3] and affects more young women or women with a mutation in the BRCA1 gene than other breast cancers. [4] Triple-negative breast cancers comprise a very heterogeneous group of cancers. TNBC is the most challenging breast cancer type to treat. [5]
Oncology, pathology. Medullary breast carcinoma is a rare type of breast cancer [1] that is characterized as a relatively circumscribed tumor [2] with pushing, rather than infiltrating, margins. It is histologically characterized as poorly differentiated cells with abundant cytoplasm and pleomorphic high grade vesicular nuclei. [3]
Ductal carcinoma in situ ( DCIS ), also known as intraductal carcinoma, is a pre-cancerous or non-invasive cancerous lesion of the breast. [ 1][ 2] DCIS is classified as Stage 0. [ 3] It rarely produces symptoms or a breast lump that can be felt, typically being detected through screening mammography. [ 4][ 5] It has been diagnosed in a ...
