“…This suggests that tubular carcinoma may have more metastatic potential than previously reported. As described in other series [4,6,9], few lymph nodes were involved in each of our patients, and these four patients have not demonstrated further evidence of metastatic disease at follow-up of 1 month to 5 years. On the basis of these findings, we recommend that axillary lymph node dissections continue to be performed, even if the diameter of the primary tumor is 1 cm or less.…”

“…As the less well differentiated component of the tumor becomes more dominant, the rate of axillary metastases rises [2,5,6]. The tubular carcinoma component of all our cases was at least 75% [4]. Our higher rate of metastasis may be due to our relatively small sample size.…”

“…Twenty-nine percent of our patients in whom axillary lymph nodes were removed had metastatic axillary disease, including a patient with a 4-mm breast carcinoma. This rate of axillary metastases is higher than the reported axillary lymph node metastatic rate of 0% to approximately 10% for tubular carcinoma [1][2][3][4][5][6][8][9][10][11]. As the less well differentiated component of the tumor becomes more dominant, the rate of axillary metastases rises [2,5,6].…”

“…Tubular carcinoma has been considered a relatively benign form of carcinoma with an ex cellent prognosis (COOPER et coll. 1978, OBERMAN & FIDLER 1979. This raises the important question whether radiographic screening preferably detects relatively innocent carcinomas, leaving the more malignant ones undetected.…”

Prognostic markers were analysed in a randomized screening project for breast carcinoma using mammary radiography as the only screening method. The proportion of small carcinomas (non-invasive carcinoma and invasive at most 10 mm across) was significantly larger among carcinomas detected at screening than that of carcinomas appearing in the control group. Furthermore, the rate of axillary metastasis was lower and the proportion of stage I disease significantly larger. The proportion of highly differentiated tubular carcinoma and intraductal carcinoma in situ was significantly larger in the screened group, while the proportion of less differentiated tubuloductal carcinoma, invasive comedocarcinoma and medullary carcinoma with lymphoid infiltration was larger in the comparison group. The findings strongly indicate that carcinomas found at radiographic screening represent, on the average, an earlier stage compared with carcinomas detected in clinical practice.
