| | Ductal Carcinoma, Lobular Carcinoma, Phyllodes Tumor & Types of Breast Cancer |
| | Lobular carcinoma in situ does not penetrate through the wall of the lobules, and most researchers believe it does not usually become an invasive breast cancer. | | | Technically, lobular carcinoma in situ is not even a cancer. | | | This invasive carcinoma has the potential to metastasize [meh-TAS-ti-size], or spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. |

| | Postgraduate Medicine: Hepatocellular carcinoma |
| | Because of their excessive toxicity and lack of survival benefit, systemic chemotherapy and radiation therapy are not considered efficacious approaches to hepatocellular carcinoma. | | | Hepatocellular carcinoma is seen most commonly in the second--the hepatic arterial--phase, because the lesions are often hypervascular (figure 2: not shown). | | | In high-risk patients, 40% to 60% of hepatocellular carcinomas identified are small and in the treatable stage (24). |

| | This increase presents a clinical challenge given that lobular carcinoma is more difficult to detect than ductal carcinoma by both physical examination and mammography. | | | Forty-seven (45.6%) of the 103 patients with malignant lesions at mammographically guided biopsies had ductal carcinoma in situ alone. | | | Breast carcinoma risk was not found to be related to the duration of breast-feeding the first child, the number of children breast-fed, or the patient's age at first lactation. |
