    Notes: Summary Among 898 breast carcinomas treated surgically between 1976 and 1980, exact microscopic measurement revealed 60 nodular breast carcinomas (6.7%) with a maximum diameter of 10 mm or less. Eleven of these lesions (1.2%) had a maximum diameter of 5 mm or less. Macroscopic diameter estimates were always 20–30% smaller than those measured by microscopy. These small tumours were seen in radiologically aimed biopsies or subcutaneous mastectomy specimens. Five minute breast cancers from the years 1971–1975 were included in the study. With the exception of a purely colloidal differentiated carcinoma, all small breast carcinomas were found in precancerous fields. Duct carcinoma in situ (60 out of 65) was far more prevalent than lobular carcinoma in situ (15 out of 65). Tubular differentiation in early invasive tumours was very frequently observed as were solid components or a mixture of both. All other forms of differentiation were rare. Thirty of the 65 small carcinomas were located at the edge of the parenchyma, a typical siting for breast carcinoma. Thirty-four of 65 small breast carcinomas had at their centre obliterated ducts with periductal elastosis. Twelve small carcinomas originated in preexisting “stellate scars”. Duct obliteration and periductal elastosis do not give rise to cancer but mark the site of active transformation and hence the “at-risk-zone” for cancerogenesis. One out of 16 tumours with a maximum diameter of 5 mm or less had an axillary metastasis, the figure was four out of 49 for carcinomas between 5 and 10 mm in diameter (and two of these metastases were multiple) and five out of 65 (7.7%) for all tumours not exceeding 10 mm in diameter.

    Notes: Summary Receptor assay results were compared with the ultrastructure of 127 breast cancers (112 primary tumors, six recurrent lesions, nine metastases). Tumors were considered to be receptor positive if the receptor levels were ⩾ 15 fmol/mg of soluble tissue protein. Most breast cancer had heterogenous cells with different grades of ultrastructural differentiation. A prevalence of well-differentiated cancer cells and an abundance of intracytoplasmic vacuoles had a significant correlation with a positive estrogen receptor status. The correlation was better than between malignancy grades and receptor content. The type of breast cancer and the menopausal status bore no relation to receptor content. Progesterone receptors were found in well-differentiated tumors of low malignancy.

    Notes: Summary Tissue from contralateral breast was taken from 505 patients with invasive breast cancer. Every 5th patient had simultaneous carcinom in the opposite breast, 7.7% (39/505) had invasive cancer, and 13.1% (66/505) had carcinoma in situ. Invasive cancers in the opposite breast were diagnosed at an earlier stage as compared with the neoplasm of the primary breast. However, 26% of the patients already had positive axillary nodes. The following risk indicators of the bilateral disease were found: age at time of diagnosis, histologic type of tumours, familial breast cancer, suspicious mammography, P2/DY-breast parenchymal pattern (Wolfe) and multicentric cancer of primary breast. Our findings support the proposal to consider bilaterality of breast cancer as a sign of systemic disease of the breasts, involving the ductal and lobular system within eight quadrants of a paired organ (Ober).

    Notes: Summary Twenty-eight small breast cancers and 17 other breast cancer specimens from which appropriate semi-thin sections had been prepared were examined by electron microscopy and special staining techniques for alterations in the basement membranes and the basal lamina. In each case disruptions of the basement membranes were invariably observed at the point of initial invasion. Two types of invasion were noted: (1) bud-like protrusions of intraduct cancer with disruption of the basement membranes at the point of invasion; (2) extensive basement membrane defects with single cancer cell invasion. Our study confirms that invasive breast cancer originates in intraductal or lobular carcinoma in situ.

    Notes: Summary We studied 52 patients with lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) of the breast, tissue being available from both breasts in 46 patients. Detailed histological examination of the tissue was combined with specimen radiography. By this technique, six invasive cancers were detected within 2 years of the primary diagnosis. Five of these six carcinomas were clinically occult and were not suspected at specimen radiography. Three other invasive cancers were discovered 4 years, 7 years, and 10 years after diagnosing LCIS. The extent of the LCIS in the primary biopsy was the only feature which gave a guide to the possible presence and location of an occult invasive lesion.
