What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Papillary Breast Cancer?
The journey toward remission begins with knowing vital information about your diagnosis.
Papillary breast cancer also called intraductal papillary carcinoma or papillary breast carcinoma — is an extremely rare type of invasive ductal carcinoma and accounts for less than 1 percent of all breast cancers. This malignant disorder takes its name from finger-like projections (papules), which can be seen when cells are examined under a microscope.
When papillary tumors are cancerous, it is because they include both in situ cells, which have not metastasized (spread) outside the duct, and invasive cells that have begun to metastasize.
Here at New Hope Unlimited, our cutting-edge therapies and technologies ensure that you receive the most advanced treatment for rare disorders like papillary breast cancer.
Signs of Papillary Breast Carcinoma
Some papillary carcinomas of the breast may create a lump large enough to feel with the fingers, and that may cause breast tenderness. Discharge is also possible. However, most papillary breast carcinomas, do not cause any symptoms and are not caught with breast self-examination.
Causes of Papillary Carcinoma of the Breast
Scientists are conducting ongoing research to determine what causes this disease to develop. Currently, they have identified some risk factors for papillary breast cancer.
You may have a higher risk if:
- You are female. Papillary breast cancer can affect men, but women are at greater risk.
- You are post-menopausal: The chances of papillary breast cancer developing is higher in postmenopausal women.
- You are over 60 years old. Papillary breast cancer is more common in older women.
- You are African-American: Research shows that African-Americans are more likely to have papillary breast carcinoma.
Diagnostic Tests for Papillary Breast Cancer
Finding cancer at an early stage is key to improving your papillary carcinoma prognosis and life expectancy. Similar to other breast cancers, diagnosing papillary breast carcinoma may require you to undergo the following tests:
- Mammogram
- Breast ultrasound
- Breast MRI scan
- Core biopsy or fine needle aspiration
