Affected mammary lobe. It represents glandular tissue with
carcinoma, showing abnormal cell proliferation, alteration
structural and compromise of mammary function, with possible
tumor progression.
The anatomy of the breasts explains the internal organization of breast tissue. It includes mammary lobes, lactiferous ducts, adipose tissue, and a vascular network that supports the function of the mammary glands.
The anatomy of the mammary glands explains how lobes, ducts, and tissues are organized within the breast. These glands, located in the female chest, play an essential role in milk production and breastfeeding.
The anatomy of mammary lobes explains the internal organization of the mammary glands. These glandular structures contain lobules and lactiferous ducts responsible for milk production and transport during breastfeeding.
The suspensory ligaments of the breast, also known as Cooper’s ligaments are fibrous connective structures that support the breasts and help maintain their shape and position on the chest wall.
Stages of breast cancer. Progression from localized tumor to
metastasis, where the cells spread to the lymph nodes and
organs, increasing the severity and affecting the clinical prognosis.
Symptoms of breast cancer. They include lumps, changes in size
or shape of the breast, skin changes, discharge, and pain, being
key signs for early detection and timely medical evaluation.
Lobular breast tumor. Comparison between the healthy lobe and
affected, showing the tumor mass that can be benign or malignant,
with structural changes and risk of tissue invasion.
Breast mammography. Radiological study that allows for
detecting lesions, masses, and microcalcifications in the breast
tissue, facilitating the early diagnosis of cancer and improving
the clinical prognosis.
Ductal carcinomas. Comparison between carcinoma in situ and
invasive carcinoma, where the cells go from being confined in
ducts to invade tissues, increasing the risk of dissemination and
affecting the prognosis.
Invasive ductal carcinoma. Breast cancer that originates in the
ducts and spreads to nearby tissues, with a risk of metastasis.
Their diagnosis includes mammography and biopsy, and the
treatment varies according to the stage.
El carcinoma invasivo ha roto dicha membrana, infiltrando tejido
mamario circundante y con potencial de metástasis. El carcinoma
in situ es cáncer no invasivo confinado a los conductos o lobulillos
sin romper la membrana basal.
