Ductal Carcinoma Cancer
Cancer has been around for a longtime but breast cancer has become more prevalent in the past ten years. Although breast cancer is a more common factor for women, men can also have breast cancer. There are different types of breast cancer however; Ductal Carcinoma Cancer is the most common type of noninvasive breast cancer women experience. The American Cancer Society (ACS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC), are two of the most knowledgeable resources one can find accurate data information concerning breast cancer. In recent years The American Cancer society (ACS) and The National Comprehensive Cancer Network, (NCCN), became partners providing the world with statistics, and pertinent information …show more content…
There are two types of breast carcinoma and the biopsy will identify or confirm which type. The sample from the tissue cells identifies the relationship between the cancer cells to the lobule or duct walls where they begin. If the location of the cancer is in the ducts or the lobules it is noninvasive or carcinoma in situ also known as lobular neoplasia (LCIS). If the spread is beyond these areas it is known as infiltrating, or invasive. In other words, Carcinoma is just another word for cancer describing whether it is malignant or …show more content…
When this happen the cell grows and doubles in size until detection during mammogram testing. Generally a doctor will schedule a mammography after the age of forty (40), or the detection of a lump in the breast. Again, if the spread is beyond the ducts and lobules, it can enter into other parts of the body, such as the cells lymphatic system, or blood vessels.
Once the biopsy is complete the tissue samples is sent to the pathology lab for further examination by a pathologist. The Pathologist will then look at the tissue sample under the microscope to grade it. The grading process depends upon the arrangement of the cells to each other. This factor shows if the cells resemble tubules, or normal breast cells known as nuclear grade. The tumor grade is the most important grade in determining if the patient requires additional treatment, of hormonal therapy or
