Pathology of high-risk breast lesions and ductal carcinoma in situ

Radiologic Clinics of North America
C Whitaker Sewell

Abstract

This article illustrates and provides an update on lesions considered to be precursors of mammary carcinoma or indicators of elevated risk for subsequent development of carcinoma.A review of usual ductal hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma in situ is given to provide a background reference for comparison with the high-risk lesions. Lesions illustrated and described as high-risk include atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical columnar cell hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, atypical lobular hyperplasia, and proliferative radial scar lesions.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Carcinoma, Ductal

Ductal carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm involving the ductal systems of any of a number of organs, such as the mammary glands, pancreas, prostate or lacrimal gland. Discover the latest research on ductal carcinoma here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.

Breast Invasive Carcinoma

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Breast Invasive Carcinoma (Keystone)

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Carcinoma, Lobular

Lobular carcinoma is an invasive type of breast cancer in which lobules, areas of the breast that produce milk, undergo malignant transformation. Here is the latest research.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
