Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and its morphological characteristics, despite the current molecular classification, also provide important information about the pattern of this disease. In order to standardize the morphological classification of breast cancer and to refine the clinical applicability of anatomopathological reports, the histological grade of Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (S...
Objective: to analyze the relation of anatomopathological features and axillary involvement in cases of invasive ductal carcinoma. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study of 220 breast cancer patients submitted to radical mastectomy or quadrantectomy with axilar emptying, from the Mastology Service of the Assis Chateaubriand Maternity School, Ceará, Brazil. We submitted the tumors to histological processing an...
Objective: To establish the histological grade of the axillary metastases in invasive ductal breast cancer cases and to compare it with the findings from the primary tumor. Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 69 cases of invasive ductal breast cancer from the mastology service of Assis Chateaubriand Maternity School, Ceará, Brazil, and their respective axillary metastases. The breast primary tumors and met...
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and its morphological characteristics, despite the current molecular classification, also provide important information about the pattern of this disease. Objective: To analyze the morphological characteristics of invasive ductal breast carcinoma among women older and younger than 50 years. Method: 302 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma p...
