Breast cancer is the most common cancer occurring in women, with over 200,000 new cases diagnosed yearly in the United States alone, and it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Breast cancer and benign breast tumors can also rarely occur in men, adolescents and children. Breast cancer consists of a heterogeneous group of diseases, with many different subtypes of both invasive and non-invasive cancers that have different treatment options and prognoses. The diagnosis of breast cancer is increasing, in part due to early detection of disease through imaging such as screening mammography. Many women undergo breast biopsies to evaluate whether a radiologic abnormality is due to a benign or neoplastic (cancerous) process. Pathologists have an important role in medicine, and nowhere is this more evident than in the care of breast cancer patients. In clinical care, only pathologists make the diagnosis of breast cancer. We determine whether a tumor is benign or malignant.
