Biopsy Done. What Does Findings Mean?
Hi...latest reports of biopsy states that "Section shows hyalinised fibrocollagenous fragments infiltrated by liner trabeculae, nests and ill defined glandular aggregates of pleomorphic and hyperchromatic cells with nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio and inconspicuous mitotic activity". Diagnosos says "right breast SOL: infiltrating ductal carcinoma, grade 1 (Score 5). Advised immunohistochemical work up (ER, PR, Her2 Neu, E-cadherin)".
What does this mean. Is this directing towards dreast cancer?
