Published 08/31/2023 Breast carcinomas are classified into two groups: {{c1::in situ}} and {{c1::invasive}} carcinomas 
Published 08/31/2023 In-situ and Invasive carcinoma are further subclassified into their two possible location: {{c1::the duct}} and {{c1::the lobule}}
Published 08/31/2023 Pathologist looking at breast lump slide will evaluate three things:
Published 08/31/2023 {{c1::Core needle biopsy}} is the gold standard for testing questional breast lumps. 
Published 08/31/2023 Biomarkers are useful in treating cancers since they can predict {{c1::responses to therapy. }}

Published 08/31/2023 {{c1::Paget's disease}} is the spread of breast cancer locally to the nipple. 
Published 08/31/2023 {{c1::Lymph node metastasis}} is the spread of breast cancer via lymph channels to the axillary and internal mammary nodes
Published 08/31/2023 {{c1::Distant metastasis}} is the spread of breast cancer via blood to distant organs – bone, liver, brain, spine 
Published 08/31/2023 {{c1::Tumor staging}} tells us how far has the tumor spread.
Published 08/31/2023 In staging breast cancer, the TNM system looks at {{c1::size of tumour}}, {{c2::lymph nodes affected}}, and {{c3::metastasis}}. 
Published 08/31/2023 {{c1::Sentinel lymph node}} is the first node that drains the area of the tumor and first target of {{c2::node analysis  }}.
Published 08/31/2023 Fine-needle aspiration are {{c1::faster}} than a core biopsy but produce {{c2::less information. }}
Published 08/31/2023 A 50 year old with heartburn comes into the clinic. This is the histology of his GI lining. What could he have?
Published 08/31/2023 A 70 yr old woman comes into the ER w/ vaginal bleeding. A biopsy of her uterine wall shows this, what could she be having? 
Published 08/31/2023 A 30 year old woman with follow up biopsy after a well woman exam shows this on her her histo slides. What is happening here? 
Published 08/31/2023 This is the histology from a 78-year old man who dies suddenly, what could be the case?
Published 08/31/2023 A 23 year-old woman with breast enlargement comes into your clinic. You perform a biopsy to make sure nothing is wrong and you see this. What is it?
Published 08/31/2023 Cuboidal or pyramidal cells of epithelia generally have {{c1::spherical}} nuclei, while nuclei of squamous epithelial cells are {{c2::flattened}}.
