Intraductal proliferative lesions of the breast: morphology, associated risk and molecular biology
1Department of Histopathology, University of Nottingham, Molecular Medical Sciences, Nottingham City Hospital, Nottingham, UK. ian.ellis@nottingham.ac.uk
Abstract:
The main objectives of this review are (1) to review the histological criteria and terminology for usual ductal hyperplasia, atypical ductal hyperplasia, flat epithelial atypia and ductal carcinoma in situ; (2) to provide an overview of the risk of breast cancer associated with these various lesions; (3) to discuss established and emerging data on the molecular biology and pathogenesis of these lesions and (4) to discuss management when detected in diagnostic needle core and surgical diagnostic specimens.

Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
