What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Tubular Carcinoma of the Breast?
Unlocking the probability of breast cancer remission starts with knowing vital information about your diagnosis.
Tubular carcinoma is a form of breast cancer and a subtype of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). IDC is a malignant disease that begins inside the milk ducts and then expands into other tissue. The name tubular breast cancer comes from the tube-shaped structures of its tumor, which are visible under a microscope. In most cases, tubular breast tumors are slow-growing and about 1 cm or less in size.
Tubular carcinoma is not a common form of breast cancer, accounting for approximately 1 to 5 percent of all IDCs. Still, breast cancer is responsible for over 40,000 deaths in the United States each year, as well as more than 265,000 cancer diagnoses annually. At New Hope Unlimited, our core mission is to stop the rise of those numbers.
Signs and Symptoms of Tubular Carcinoma
Tubular carcinoma may not reveal any symptoms at first. But as the disease progresses, a lump may grow large enough for you to feel during a breast self-exam. As mentioned, because tubular breast tumors are usually 1 cm or less in diameter, they will feel small and hard to the touch.
What Caused Your Cancer?
Like other cancers of the breast, the underlying cause of tubular carcinoma is unclear. However, medical scientists suspect the following as potential contributors to an increased risk of tubular carcinoma of the breast:
- A family history of breast cancers
- Radiation therapy on the face or chest
- Being overweight or obese
- Giving birth after 30 years old
- No full-term pregnancy
- Not breastfeeding
- Age of 50 and over
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Sedentary lifestyle and poor diet choices
- Certain chemicals in food or in the environment
- Hormone replacement therapy
Diagnosing Tubular Carcinoma of the Breast
Early detection is fundamental to your tubular carcinoma survival rate. Your doctor might order the following tests to find cancer cells or tumors in your breast:
- Physical examination of the breasts
- Mammogram
- MRI scan of the breasts
- Ultrasound of the breasts
- Tissue removal (biopsy) of the tumor
After receiving a tubular breast cancer diagnosis, the next most important step is to plan your treatment.
