Re: Papillary Adenocarcinoma of the breast ANYONE???
Shelia,
It just never stops for you does it. I did a quick search and it looks like it's got a good prognosis. I found this on a page by the ACS. I just wanted it noted that I was told by someone that has transcribes medical records for yrs they use the word "Carcinoma & Adenocarcinoma interchangeable." So hopefully that applies here? Someone feel free to correct me if not?
>>Papillary carcinoma: The cells of these cancers tend to be arranged in small, finger-like projections when viewed under the microscope. These tumors can be separated into non-invasive and invasive types. Intraductal papillary carcinoma or papillary carcinoma in situ is non-invasive. It is often considered a subtype of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and is treated as such. In rare cases, the tumor is invasive, in which case it is treated like invasive ductal carcinoma, although the outlook is likely to be better. These cancers tend to be diagnosed in older women, and they make up no more than 1% or 2% of all breast cancers.<<
This was found on the Y-ME webside.

Your sister sure has someone qualified to help guide her along when it comes to bc. I just wish she didn't have to deal with it at all. I sure hope everything turns out ok. Keep us updated.
