Cribriform, pierced with small holes as in a sieve. Refers to the appearance of a tumor when viewed under a microscope. The tumor appears to have open spaces or small holes inside. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- It appears to be, I have breast cancer DCIS in situ, I had a mastectomy, my results are DCIS type cribriform and micropapillary , nuclear grade 2/3 , intermediate to high, necrosis present , size 1. DCIS is a noninvasive condition in which abnormal cells are found in the lining of a breast duct. The abnormal cells have not spread outside the duct to other tissues in the breast. In some cases, DCIS may become invasive cancer and spread to other tissues. At this time, there is no way to know which lesions could become invasive. Also called ductal carcinoma in situ and intraductal carcinoma. Nuclear grade is an evaluation of the size and shape of the nucleus in tumor cells and the percentage of tumor cells that are in the process of dividing or growing. Cancers with low nuclear grade grow and spread less quickly than cancers with high nuclear grade. In situ is in its original place. For example, in carcinoma in situ, abnormal cells are found only in the place where they first formed. They have not spread. Breast, glandular organ located on the chest. The breast is made up of connective tissue, fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland. Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. Mastectomy, surgery to remove part or all of the breast. There are different types of mastectomy that differ in the amount of tissue and lymph nodes removed. Necrosis, refers to the death of living tissues.
- It might seem apparant that, hi, my name is Debbie and I have recently been diagnosis with multifocal ductal carcinoma in-situ, nuclear grade 3, solid, cribriform, and comedo. Diagnosis is the process of identifying a disease, such as cancer, from its signs and symptoms. Carcinoma, cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
- It is obvious that, the ductal carcinoma in situ is moderately-differentiated (nuclear grade 2 of 3), with a micropapillary and cribriform configuration, largest focus measures 3 mm in maximal. MM is the amount of a substance equal to a thousandth of a mole (a measure of the amount of a substance). Also called millimole. Carcinoma in situ is a group of abnormal cells that remain in the place where they first formed. They have not spread. These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Also called stage 0 disease.
