Until the late 1950s, tumors were simply and only classified according their clinical stage, which does not take into account the accepted range of biological behavior of breast carcinomas. Bloom and Richardson observed at that time that clinical staging provided a useful guide, yet “it fails c...
In this paper we address the problem of automated grading of invasive breast carcinoma through the encoding of histological images as VLAD (Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors) representations on the Grassmann manifold. The proposed method considers each image as a set of multidimensional spatially...
Invasive breast carcinomas of special type are composed of up to 35% of all cases, such as tubular carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, invasive cribriform carcinoma, lobular carcinoma, metaplastic carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and other rare variants. They are recognized by their specific growth and mor...
The presentation of primary breast TB may often mimic carcinoma of the breast. While imaging is not specific, histopathology provides a definitive diagnosis. Here, we present a case of primary breast TB in a breast cancer patient and review the literature....
The diagnostic value of these markers in distinguishing benign from malignant breast lesions has not been well examined. To evaluate the diagnostic value of CD44s in distinguishing between intraductal papillomas and papillary carcinomas of the breast, which may be difficult......

Risk factors for initial lung metastasis from breast invasive ductal carcinoma in stages I-III of operable patients. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate high-risk factors for initial lung metastases from breast invasive ductal carcinomas in operable patients ... Dongwei Gao,, Jiajun...
PurposeTo identify the importance of positive margins for invasive carcinoma on local control in patients treated with breast-conservative treatment (BCT).Methods and materialsA total of 1752 BCT with known margins were analyzed. Fifty-five patients had a second BCT, leaving 1697 patients for analysi...
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) represents pre-invasive breast carcinoma. In untreated cases, 25–60% DCIS progress to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). The challenge lies in distinguishing between non-progressive and progressive DCIS, often resulting in
