CancerIndex

CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It is not a physician, does not diagnose, and does not recommend treatment. Population statistics do not predict individual outcomes.

Every number links to its source and retrieval date. Derived metrics carry a formula version. AI-generated synthesis is not enabled in this phase; all content is database-grounded.

Definition

What this entity is

A carcinoma that infiltrates the breast parenchyma. The vast majority are adenocarcinomas arising from the terminal ductal lobular unit (TDLU). Often, the invasive adenocarcinoma co-exists with ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ. It is the most common carcinoma affecting women.
