Breast Cancer
Pathophysiology of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a:
1) neoplastic transformation of glandular epithelium of the terminal duct unit, lactiferous proximal ducts, or lobules of the breast
2) almost always adenocarcinoma
3) classification is controversial, but most experts recognize in situ (malignant cells do not invade through the basement membrane) and invasive forms
4) in situ types – intraductal (comedo and noncomedo sutypes) in situ, lobular in situ, and papillary in situ
5) invasive types – ductal, lobular, tubular, colloid, and medullary
Signs and Symptoms
