Carcinoma Second to lung cancer as a cause of death ¼ of women with the disease die Lifetime risk is 1 in 8 women in US Increasing incidence 75% of patients are older than 50 y 5% are younger than 40 y
Carcinoma L > R (slightly) 4% bilateral Upper outer quadrant: 50% Central zone: 20% All other quadrants: 10% each
Carcinoma Classification Carcinoma In-situ Invasive carcinoma Ductal (DCIS) Lobular (LCIS) Invasive carcinoma Ductal carcinoma (Scirrhous carcinoma) Lobular carcinoma Others: medullary, colloid, tubular…
Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ DCIS Terminal duct lobular unit Large malignant cells, monotonous, within ducts Pattern Solid Cribriform Papillary Micropapillary Comedo: central necrosis
Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ DCIS Presentation Mammography: calcifications Can be palpable Prognosis: 97% survival 1/3 of cases progress to invasive cancer if untreated Recurrence in 20-25%
Lobular Carcinom In-Situ LCIS Terminal duct lobular unit Uniform, monomorphic, bland, discohesive cells, some with vacuoles (signet-ring) 1/3 will develop invasive cancer, the risk is to both sides of breast LCIS is a marker of increased risk Presentation: incidental, not palpable, no calcification
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (NOS) or (NST) 70-80% of invasive carcinoma Associated with DCIS Hard, palpable mass, irregular borders Nipple retraction, Peau d’ orange fixation to the chest wall
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (NOS) or (NST) Invasive adenocarcinoma Irregular glands lined by malignant cells Grading: tubular formation, nuclear grade, mitosis 2/3 ER/PR + 1/3 HER2/NEU over expression
Invasive Lobular carcinoma 20% of invasive cancer cases 2/3 are associated with LCIS Most are palpable, but can be occult More frequent multifocal, multicentric (10-20%)
Invasive Lobular carcinoma Single cells, indian file, targetoid arrangement Signet-ring cells, intracytoplasmic lumina Matastasize to serosal surfaces and CNS, ovary All ER/PR + HER2/NEU over expression is rare
Medullary Carcinoma Well circumscribed mass, pushing borders Large anaplastic cells Mixed with inflammatory cells Cases of BRCA1 show medullary carcinom-like features Lack ER/PR HER2/NEU negative
Colloid carcinoma (mucinous) Well circumscribed mass Pools of mucus Malignant cells floating in mucus ER/PR + HER2/NEU negative
Tubular carcinoma Small <1cm Irregular densities on mammography Prognosis is excellent ER/PR + HER2/NEU negative
Inflammatory Carcinoma Usually ductal carcinoma NOS Clinical: enlarged swollen, erythematous breast Cancer seen in lymphatic channels in skin Poor prognosis
Paget Diseas of nipple Extension of DCIS upto lactiferous ducts and skin of nipple 50% associated with invasive carcinoma Extramammary Paget disease Common in perineum, but can be in any site
Case
49-year-old woman who has come to the doctor for evaluation of a lump in her right breast. She says she first noticed it two weeks ago while she was taking a shower. She hasn't noticed any nipple discharge, skin changes, or alteration in the lump's size. She is perimenopausal. Her mother died at age 45 from "a breast tumor." Five years previously, the patient had a biopsy of her left breast
Physical examination reveals a nontender, slightly moveable, 2 Physical examination reveals a nontender, slightly moveable, 2.0-cm mass in the upper outer quadrant of her right breast. In addition, several smaller nodules and ill-defined firm areas are present in both breasts. The nipple and skin appear normal. The lower right axilla contains a 1.5-cm moveable nodule A mammogram shows an irregular mass with stippled calcifications in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast.
Gross examination of the lumpectomy specimen shows a 2 Gross examination of the lumpectomy specimen shows a 2.0-cm, grey, scirrhous mass in the central portion of the specimen The margins of the lumpectomy specimen are free of tumor. Serial sections of the sentinal lymph node reveal metastatic ductal carcinoma ,thus, a completion axillary dissection is performed a week later, revealing 2 additional positive lymph nodes out of 15. Special studies reveal the tumor to be estrogen and progesterone receptor positive with a high proliferative rate and a diploid DNA histogram. The tumor is HER2 positive. The patient is given chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Cancer Spread Lymph nodes 40% of cases Axillary nodes, internal mammary nodes, supacalvicular nodes Lung, liver, BM, adrenal Metastasis can be many years after the primary resection (10-15 years)
Cancer Spread Stage Size, L.N. involvement, metastasis (TNM) Poor prognostic findings Chest wall invasion, skin ulceration, inflammatory carcinoma
Cancer Spread Stage: Stage 0: DCIS, LCIS, survival 97% Stage 1: invasive <2cm, survival 87% Stage 2: invasive 2 – 5 cm, survival 75% Stage 3: invasive >5 cm + L.N., survival 46% Stage 4: metastatic disease, survival 13%
Risk Factors Environmental Host Changeable Non changeable
Risk Factors Host Changeable Non changeable Age: uncommon <30 years, increase with age till menopause Early menarche Late menopause Nulliparous
Risk Factors Host Changeable Non changeable Genetic 5-10% of cancer is related to inhereted gene Suspected in young, bilateral cancer, with ovarian tumor BRCA1, Ch 17q BRCA2, Ch 13q Li Fraumeni syndrome (P53 mutation) Cowden disease (PTEN) Ataxia-telangeictasia
Risk Factors Host Changeable Non changeable Prolonged exogenous estrogen postmenopausally Hormone replacement therapy Oral contraceptives Non changeable
Risk Factors Environmental Geographic variations Radiation Others US>Asia, Africa US 5x of Japan Radiation Early age during breast development <30y Others Obesity, high-fat diet, alcohol, smoking
Pathogenesis Genetic Overexpression of HER2/NEU (ERBB2) Found in 30% of cases Poor prognosis Amplification of Ras gene, Myc Mutations of P53, RB1
Pathogenesis Hormonal Estrogen excess (early menarche, late menopuse, nulliparity) Ovarian tumor secreting estrogen
Prognosis Tumor stage (size, LN, metastasis) Grade Type Lymphovascular invasion ER. PR. Proliferation rate Aneuploidy HER2/NEU over expression
Inflammation of Breast
Inflammation of Breast Tender, painful, Fever… Acute mastitis Nursing Staph : single, multiple Mammary duct ectasia Non bacterial, 40-50 year old Duct dilation, rupture, reactive changes Traumatic fat necrosis Mass, small, tender Fat necrosis, acute inflammation, foamy histiocytes
Fibroadenoma Most common benign tumor of the breast Young female 30y Estrogen ? Findings Discrete, freely mobile, firm, tan-white 1-10cm Pericanalicular, intracanalicular
Phyllodes Tumor Stromal tumor Usually large, leaf-like cleft and slits Most are benign Can be malignant Stromal cellularity, atypia, mitosis, invasion
Intraductal Papilloma Solitary, affect large lactiferous ducts Present: bloody nipple discharge, subareolar mass, rarely nipple retraction Findings: Dilated duct with branching tumor Papillary, double layers of cells Intraductal papillomatosis
