Feb 17th, 2021 - The standardization of the breast cancer TNM staging system by the AJCC allows physicians to evaluate patients with breast cancer using standard language and criteria, to assess treatment response, and to compare patient outcomes. Previous edition...

Feb 11th, 2021 - Endosalpingiosis is a benign Müllerian inclusion that can mimic metastatic low-grade mammary carcinoma, particularly when encountered in axillary lymph nodes excised for breast cancer staging. Immunohistochemistry can be useful in histologically a...

Oct 1st, 2020 - Pathologic tumor size assessment highly depends on the gross specimen size once microscopic cancer size exceeds its macroscopic size, in particular if the dimension along the plane of sectioning is the greatest. We hypothesize that the method by w...

Sep 14th, 2020 - During breast cancer staging, histological evaluation of axillary sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) is usually straightforward. However, the exact characterization of a small epithelial deposit in an SLN can be challenging, especially during the frozen s...

May 21st, 2020 - Cancer biology dominates the behavior and prognosis of a tumor. Although Nottingham histological grade is a subjective pathological determination, it has been accepted as a surrogate model for cancer biology. As such, histologic grade was incorpor...

Aug 13th, 2009 - Action Points Explain to interested patients that MRI appears more sensitive for breast cancer detection and assessment than traditional methods, such as clinical assessment or mammography. Note, though, that the review suggested no consistent ben...

Mar 1st, 2008 - Sentinel node biopsy: A less-invasive alternative Axillary lymph node dissection has been called into question over the last 15 years due to its invasiveness and the potential morbidity associated with it (including lymphedema and paresthesias). A.
