Breast cancer tubular carcinoma

Hypercalcemia of malignancy is a common occurrence in solid tumors of the lung and breast as well as multiple myeloma and adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (26). The hypercalcemia associated with breast cancer is usually seen in late stages of the disease in patients with extensive bone metastases. In squamous cell carcinoma of the lung or kidney, however, hypercalcemia is not correlated with disease stage and is not necessarily associated with bone metastases. The hypercalcemia results from increased bone resorption, decreased bone formation and increased renal tubular calcium reabsorption. These findings suggest that some tumors may secrete humoral factors with PTH-like actions. [Pg.248]

The three most common special types of invasive cancer are tubular, medullary, and mucinous. Medullary carcinoma is a well-defined lesion with a characteristic microscopic appearance that includes a well-circumscribed border, intense infiltration with small lymphocytes, and other factors. It accounts for 5% to 7% of all breast carcinomas and is believed to have a better prognosis than infiltrat-... [Pg.2337]
