About two percent of breast cancer s are mucinous breast cancers. This cancer tend to be much slower growing than other kinds of breast cancers and is less probable to extend to the lymph nodes.
Mucinous carcinoma also recognized as colloid carcinoma, this uncommon kind of invasive breast cancer is shaped by mucus-producing cancer cells. The prognosis is usually much better than for the more usual kinds of invasive breast cancer.
Like other uncommon subtypes of breast cancer, diagnosing it takes extraordinary ability. You might want to look for a second view from another hospital pathology lab if this is your diagnosis.
Diagnosing mucinous carcinoma usually engages a mixture of steps. First is a physical examination of the breasts. Your doctor can be able to undergo the lump in the breast, or you might feel it yourself as long as a breast self-exam. Second one is a mammogram to place the tumor and check for proof of cancer in other parts of the breast. A screening mammogram might be able to identify a mucinous carcinoma, but it frequently looks like a benign (non-cancerous) breast lump. A mucinous carcinoma has distinct edges and pushes against nearby healthy breast tissue, but does not attack it.Third one is ultrasound employs sound waves to get images of breast tissue. MRI to get added images of the breast and check for other parts of cancer. The last one is Biopsy engages making a small cut and taking out all of the tumor, or by means of a special needle to get rid of tissue samples from the suspicious region, for examination under a microscope. Biopsy is the solution to correct diagnosis, since imaging tests alone can't tell the differentiation between mucinous carcinoma, other kinds of breast cancer, and benign breast lumps.
As with the other uncommon subtypes of breast cancer, diagnosing it takes exceptional ability. You might want to look for a second view from another hospital pathology lab if this is your diagnosis.
Mucinous carcinoma could be discovered near other more common types of breast cancer as well. Sometimes a ductal carcinoma in situ (or DCIS, cancer that has not extended outside the milk duct) is discovered near the carcinoma. A mucinous carcinoma might have a number of parts within it that have invasive ductal carcinoma cells as well. If the invasive ductal carcinoma cells make up more than 10% of the tumor, the cancer would be named a "mixed" mucinous carcinoma. A "pure" one indicates that minimally 90% of the cells are mucinous.
Doctors usually treat mucinous cancers in the same method as other subtypes of breast cancer – with surgery. If the tumour is smaller than 1 cm, you might not need your lymph nodes cut off. The view for mucinous breast cancer is in general great. Additional treatment is usually not wanted following the surgery.
