Perineural and/or lymphovascular space invasion is usually considered as part of the histological description of a breast cancer, and when present may be associated with more aggressive disease. Grade. Grading focuses on the appearance of the breast cancer cells compared to the appearance of normal breast tissue. Normal cells in an organ like ...

Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is the term used for a benign lesion of the breast that indicates an increased risk of breast cancer. [1]The name of the entity is descriptive of the lesion; ADH is characterized by cellular proliferation (hyperplasia) within one or two breast ducts and (histomorphologic) architectural abnormalities, i.e. the cells are arranged in an abnormal or atypical way ...
Breast cancer is a cancer that develops from breast tissue. [62] Signs of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in breast shape, dimpling of the skin, milk rejection , fluid coming from the nipple , a newly inverted nipple, or a red or scaly patch of skin. [ 63 ]
The basal-like carcinoma is a recently proposed subtype of breast cancer defined by its gene expression and protein expression profile. [1]Breast cancer can be divided into five molecular subtypes, including luminal subtype A, luminal subtype B, normal breast-like subtype, HER-2 overexpression subtype, and basal-like subtype. [2]
Staging breast cancer is the initial step to help physicians determine the most appropriate course of treatment. As of 2016, guidelines incorporated biologic factors, such as tumor grade, cellular proliferation rate, estrogen and progesterone receptor expression, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) expression, and gene expression profiling into the staging system.
Anisomastia is a medical condition in which there is a severe asymmetry or unequalness in the size of the breasts, generally related to a difference in volume. [1] In other words, when one of the breasts is much larger than the other. [2] In contrast to anisomastia, a slight asymmetry of the breasts is common. [1]
A Seer study of 750 individuals with pure or mixed ICCB reported that: a) 92.8% consisted of tumor cells that were scored well-differentiated (i.e. grade 1) or moderately well-differentiated (grade 2) (differentiation is the degree to which tumor cells resemble the non-cancerous cells in the tissue from which they derived) while 7.2% were ...
