Answer
There are 2 different Paget's diseases! One, of the nipple,is associated with breast cancer, the other, of bone, is not. Please do tell me which of these 2 we are discussing!


Well, it seems to be Paget's disease of the bone which has in itself nothing to do with breast cancer or cancer at all. Unfortunately that also takes it out of my field of expertise! I suggest therefore that you ask an expert on internal medicine on this.
