Abstract:
Invasive micropapillary carcinoma of breast is associated with poor prognosis and high incidence of lymph node metastasis.Tumor cells are observed as micro-papillary with light microscope.And high expression of epithelial membrane antigen(EMA) examined by immunohistochemistry is a reliable way of diagnosing this carcinoma accurately and timely.Compared with the previous diagnostic criteria,the new criteria pays more attention to the diagnosis of invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast.For this reason,it has important significance for treatment and prognosis of patients with invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast.
