'''Non-invasive breast carcinoma''' is a type of [[breast cancer]] and a common entity... since the introduction of radiologic breast screening.


It can neatly be divided into the discussion of two entities:  
Viewed simplistically, it can neatly be divided into the discussion of two entities:  
*Ductal carcinoma in situ, and,
#[[Ductal carcinoma in situ]] (DCIS).
*Lobular carcinoma in situ.
#[[Lobular carcinoma in situ]] (LCIS).


Invasive breast cancer is dealt with in the article ''[[invasive breast cancer]]''.
Invasive breast cancer is dealt with in the article ''[[invasive breast cancer]]''.  An introduction to the ''breast'' is found in the ''[[breast pathology]]'' article.

*Abbreviated ''DCIS''.
*FEHUT: ER-low/CK5-high profile.
*Diagnosis based on nuclear abnormalities ''and'' architecture.
*ADH/DCIS: ER-high/CK5-low.  
*It is typically picked-up during radiologic screening.


===Subtypes===
Where:
Subtypes are based on architecture:
*ER-high = diffuse strong staining in >90% of cells.  
*Solid.
*CK5-high = mosaic pattern of staining in >20% of cells
**No spaces between cells.
*CK5-low = absent or staining in <20% of cells.
*Cribriform.
**Honeycomb-like appearance: circular holes.
**"Cookie cutter" appearance/"punched-out" appearance/"Roman bridges" -- cells surround the circular holes.
*Papillary.
**Papillae with fibrovascular cores.
*Micropapillary.
**Small papillae without fibrovascular cores.
**Have "drum stick" shape.


NOTE: ''comedonecrosis'' - used to be considered a separate subtype -- essentially ''solid'' type DCIS with necrosis.
==Atypical ductal hyperplasia==
*Abbreviated ''ADH''.
{{Main|Atypical ductal hyperplasia}}


===Microscopic===
==Ductal carcinoma in situ==
Features:
*Abbreviated ''DCIS''.
*Nuclear pleomorphism -- most important feature. 
{{Main|Ductal carcinoma in situ}}
*Nuclear size - compared to RBCs to grade DCIS.
**Compare sizes of nuclei if you cannot find RBCs.
***See ''[[Grading DCIS]]'' for details.
*+/-Mitoses.
*Cells cohesive.
**No spaces in between.
**Nuclei spaced equally.
 
====Size criteria for low-grade DCIS====
DCIS must meet the following size criteria:<ref name=Ref_BP168>{{Ref BP|168}}</ref>
*Two membrane-bound spaces - ''OR'' - 2 mm.
**If it isn't (low-grade) DCIS... it's atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH).
 
The treatment is similar; ADH and DCIS are both excised. 
 
The differences are:
*DCIS is cancer, i.e. this has life insurance implications.
*Radiation treatment - DCIS is irradiated; ADH does ''not'' get radiation.
 
====Grading DCIS====
Graded 1-3 (low-high)<ref>[http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/breast/dcis/ http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/breast/dcis/]</ref> - compare lesional nuclei to one another.
*Grade 1
**Nuclei 2-3x size of RBC.
**NO necrosis.
*Grade 2
**Nuclei 2-3x size of RBC.
**+/-Necrosis.
*Grade 3
**Nuclei >3x size of RBC.
**Necrosis usually present.
 
Notes:
*It is often hard to find RBCs when you want 'em. DCIS is pleomorphic.
*If no RBCs are present to compare with compare the nuclei to one another.
*If you see nuclei >3x larger than their neigbour you're ready to call DCIS Grade 3.
