T1 |
0-71 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Intraductal carcinoma associated with invasive carcinoma of the breast. |
T2 |
72-171 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
A comparison of the two lesions with implications for intraductal carcinoma classification systems. |
T3 |
172-290 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
Intraductal carcinoma (DCIS) is a useful marker for predicting which women will develop a recurrent breast malignancy. |
T4 |
291-470 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The authors examined 150 consecutive, mammographically detected, T1 invasive carcinomas associated with DCIS to study the DCIS and compare it to its associated invasive carcinoma. |
T5 |
471-556 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Intraductal carcinoma nuclear grades were assigned to each duct on a scale of 1 to 3. |
T6 |
557-698 |
DRI_Unspecified |
denotes |
The percentage of DCIS ducts that were involved by each grade was quantitated into quartiles for cases with more than one DCIS nuclear grade. |
T7 |
699-791 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The predominant architectural pattern corresponding to each DCIS nuclear grade was recorded. |
T8 |
792-926 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Ninety-two percent of the 150 invasive carcinomas were of ductal type, 4% were tubular, and the remainder were various other subtypes. |
T9 |
927-979 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Nine percent of the DCIS cases were nuclear grade 1. |
T10 |
980-1195 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
The remaining 91% of cases were almost evenly distributed between mixed DCIS nuclear grades 1 and 2 (19%), pure DCIS nuclear grade 2 (24%), mixed DCIS nuclear grade 2 to 3 (25%), and pure DCIS nuclear grade 3 (22%). |
T11 |
1196-1278 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Two percent of cases were a mixture of DCIS nuclear grades 1 and 3 or 1, 2, and 3. |
T12 |
1279-1531 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
All pure DCIS nuclear grade 1 or mixed 1 and 2 were associated with well or moderately differentiated invasive carcinomas, whereas the majority (61%) of the pure DCIS nuclear grade 3 cases were associated with poorly differentiated invasive carcinomas. |
T13 |
1532-1626 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
There was no relation between the DCIS architectural pattern and the invasive carcinoma grade. |
T14 |
1627-1714 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
In general, the DCIS nuclear grade correlates with the grade of the invasive carcinoma. |
T15 |
1715-1827 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Unlike DCIS architecture, nuclear grade heterogeneity within DCIS associated with invasive carcinoma is minimal. |
T16 |
1828-1973 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
DCIS classification systems based on nuclear grade have merit because there is little variation in nuclear grade within a given patient's lesion. |
