Imaging of Breast Cancers With Predilection for Nonmass Pattern of Growth: Invasive Lobular Carcinoma and DCIS—Does Imaging Capture It All?
Olena Weaver, Wei Yang
Abstract
We review molecular mechanisms and histopathologic patterns that define the biologic behavior of both ILC and DCIS and discuss how these mechanisms translate into distinct clinical and imaging presentations that affect the staging workup and patient management algorithm.
