		<description><![CDATA[Question: Dear Dr. Lawton,
I had 2 pathologists look at my surgical pathology. It seems that they both saw the same thing, but disagreed on how to call it.

		<description><![CDATA[Question:  What is the difference between invasive lobular and ductal carcinoma? My first biopsy I had at my ultrasound said &#8220;invasive lobular carcinoma grade 2/3&#8243; and my surgery biopsy said &#8220;invasive ductal carcinoma grade 2/3&#8243;. Does this make any difference?
 Answer: Not really, because a core biopsy only samples part of the tumor.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the January 1, 2010 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, a study was released which confirms the belief that tubular carcinomas of the breast have a more favorable prognosis than typical Grade I invasive carcinomas, NST.
I&#8217;ve reported before on invasive carcinomas which have been associated with a more favorable prognosis.  Tubular carcinoma is [...]]]></description>

Why does it say less than 10% for estrogen receptor is negative?  Doesn&#8217;t that mean some cells are positive? My doctor said since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question:  My report says I have invasive ductal carcinoma, Nottingham grade II, score 7.  What is the difference between grade II and score 7?

Answer:  Invasive cancers are graded using the Nottingham system.  Your pathologist looks at your cancer and evaluates three things, each of which gets a number from 1-3.  Then these three numbers are [...]]]></description>
