[Morphological diagnosis and prognosis in early ductal breast cancer]

One hundred and ten cases of precancer and early ductal breast cancer were analysed. Patterns of non-invasive ductal cancer were identified. Multicentric growth was observed in 55.8% of patients with intraductal cancer and invasive ductal cancer with predominant intraductal component. Early ductal cancer proved to have favorable prognosis, with only 2.2% of patients with disseminated tumor and 4.4% of those with recurrence identified during the mean follow-up period of 53.5 months.
