'''Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast''', also known as '''encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast''' (abbreviated '''EPC'''), is an uncommon type of [[breast cancer]] with a very good prognosis. | '''Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast''', also known as '''encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast''' (abbreviated '''EPC'''), is an uncommon type of [[breast cancer]] with a very good prognosis. | ||
It should not be confused with the ''[[invasive papillary carcinoma of the breast]]'', a more aggressive tumour of the breast. | |||
