I believe the woman in discussion had invasive LOBULAR carcinoma not ductal. Invasive lobular is 5-10% and ductal which is more common is 80%. Mamms have more difficulty in picking up on lobular than ductal because loublar does not form a mass as readily and does not have the typical early calcification pattern. agf >From: GIN11153@aol.com >Reply-To: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net >To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L <ob-gyn-l@dns.obgyn.net> >Subject: Dr. Foley re: breast cancer >Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2005 02:35:35 -0500 > >Actually, invasive ductal carcinomas represent about 75-80% of all breast >cancers, not the 5-10% you mentioned.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
