Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. [3] [4] Cancer can be difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms are often nonspecific, meaning they may be general phenomena that do not point directly to a specific disease process.
Breast lump, breast tumor: A breast lump associated with an inverted nipple and skin dimpling. Underlying cause was breast cancer. Specialty: Gynecology, General Surgery: Symptoms: An area of the breast that feel different than the surrounding tissue [1] Causes: Fibrocystic change, fibroadenomas, breast infection, galactoceles, breast cancer [1 ...
Krukenberg tumors can be seen in all age groups, with an average age of 45 years. [2] In most countries, cancer that has metastasized to the ovary accounts for only about 1 to 2% of ovarian cancer; [2] in the remainder, the ovary itself is the primary cancer site. However, in Japan they represent a much higher percentage of malignancies in the ...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is any breast cancer that either lacks or shows low levels of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression and/or gene amplification (i.e. the tumor is negative on all three tests giving the name triple-negative). [1]
Some examples of adverse effects of core needle biopsies can include rare biopsy risks like infection, abscess formation, fistula formation, migration of any markers placed in the breast, and potential seeding of the tumor (causing displacement of cancer cells due to the procedure that can start new tumors elsewhere).
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.
The prognosis of phyllodes tumor is good with an overall 87% 10-year survival rate. [5] After wide-margin surgical excision, 98.7% of benign phyllodes tumors and 80% of borderline were cured. [25] In rare cases where the tumor has metastasized, the prognosis is poor. [5] This most commonly occurs in cases of malignant grade phyllodes tumor. [5]
