  2. Lobular carcinoma in situ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobular_carcinoma_in_situ

    Like the cells of atypical lobular hyperplasia and invasive lobular carcinoma, the abnormal cells of LCIS consist of small cells with oval or round nuclei and small nucleoli detached from each other. [12] Mucin-containing signet-ring cells are commonly seen. LCIS generally leaves the underlying architecture intact and recognisable as lobules.

  3. Atypical hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_hyperplasia

    Atypical hyperplasia is a high-risk premalignant lesion of the breast. It is believed that atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a direct precursor for low-grade mammary ductal carcinoma , whereas atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) serves as a risk indicator.

    Presence of high-risk breast lesions like lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) and atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH). [7] Having dense breasts or breasts with diffuse microcalcification, as the screening for breast cancer is made difficult.

    Proliferative lesions also have approximately a two-fold risk: in particular, atypical hyperplasia which is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer. [19] There are two types of atypical hyperplasia: lobular and ductal; the lobular type is associated a greater cancer risk of approximately five-fold and especially high ...

    This genetic mutation is a high-risk factor for the development of breast cancer, family history, or atypical lobular hyperplasia (when irregular cells line the milk lobes.) This type of procedure is said to reduce the risk of breast cancer by 100%. However, other circumstances may affect the outcome.

    In 2020, the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium recognized officially that the hereditary lobular breast cancer is a possible independent syndrome. [2] To date, there are reported about 40 families clustering for lobular breast cancer and associated with CDH1 germline mutations but without association with diffuse gastric cancer ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_cancer_management

    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.
