Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well-differentiated type of adenocarcinoma accounting for 2-5% of all breast cancers. Pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast has a favorable prognosis, usually seen in post-menopausal women. Neuroendocrine differentiation has been described in both in-situ and infiltrating breast cancers .Mucinous carcinomas of the breast appear to have the greatest associat...

mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well differentiated, rare histological type of invasive ductal carcinoma, seen in oldest median age (69 years). we describe a case of a 60 yr old female with large right breast mass of 10 years duration with no nodal involvement. the reasons to present this case are 1) because of its rarity. 2) despite having a large tumour size, the axillary lymph node is ...

Background: The tumor suppressor gene TP53 (alias p53) located on chromosome 17 is involved in various cancers. Case-control studies have shown that p53 codon 72 polymorphism modulates the prognosis and susceptibility to various malignancies. We undertook the present study to explore a possible association between mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas with different genotypes or alleles at ...

The DNA stemline of 45 mucinous breast carcinomas was determined by flow cytometry using paraffin embedded archival tissue sections. The material consisted of 26 pure mucinous and 19 mixed mucinous carcinomas. The patients were followed up for at least 15 years or until death. Nearly all pure mucinous carcinomas had a normal DNA stemline (25 of 26) with only one aneuploid tumour. Mixed mucinous...

BACKGROUND Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is an indolent tumors with a favorable prognosis; however, micropapillary features tend to lead to aggressive behavior. Thus, mucinous carcinoma and micropapillary carcinoma exhibit contrasting biologic behaviors. Here, we review invasive mucinous carcinoma with a focus on micropapillary features and correlations with clinicopathological factors. ME...

Previous studies have shown conflicting results on the prognosis of colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma. This study compared prognostic characteristics of patients diagnosed with mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas in a Canadian series. Analyses were based on 165 colorectal mucinous and 1215 non-mucinous adenocarcinoma patients who were registered at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre from ...

background: mucinous adenocarcinoma colorectal cancer present at a more colorectal advanced stage of disease and showe a poorer prognosis than those with other types of carcinoma. the purpose of the present study was to clarify the clinicopathological characteristics of mucinous colorectal carcinoma in the iranian population. methods: 110 patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma were selected from...

BACKGROUND Elastography is widely used as a diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer. However, no study has yet shown if elastography for diagnosing mucinous carcinoma is as useful as that for diagnosing the usual invasive carcinoma. Mucinous carcinoma is considered as a soft tumor. In this study, we used elastography to evaluate the elasticity of mucinous carcinoma. METHOD...
