Question
My mother is 50yrs old and just recd the pathology results following her biopsy. It indicates infiltrating ductal carcinoma grade2, show fibrocollagenous tissue exhibiting an infiltrating malignant tumor present in clusters & nests with focal tubular configuration. I have done some research but some of the forementioned terms are bothersome. i.e. Infiltrating and nests with focal tubular configuration. If anyone can provide some feedback I would so appreciate it. Thank you
