Relevance of systems biological approach in the differential diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma & invasive ductal carcinoma

Abstract: Breast cancer is a malignant neoplasm originating from breast tissue, most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. ILCs and IDCs vary from each other with respect to various histological, biological and clinical features. Remarkably, ductal tumors tending to form glandular structures, whereas lobular tumors are less cohesive and tends to invade in single file. The high degree of similarity in the prognoses of IDC and ILC makes it beneficial to develop a diff… Show more

“…These two sub-types show similarity in certain features such as tumour site, tumour size, stage and grade, but have different metastatic patterns, characteristic histology and malignant calcifications [5], [4]. IDC starts from ducts and spreads to the breast fatty tissue, whereas ILC is restricted to milk producing lobules [6]. These two sub-types are also discriminated at the molecular level with differential expression of gene encoding vimentin, cathespin D, thrombospondin, E-cadherin, vascular endothelial growth factor, cytokeratin 8, and cyclin A.…”

“…[4], [7], [8], [9],[10], [11], [12]. The pathological differences between the two sub-types arises as a result of separate gene regulatory networks, which warrants further exploration for the development of appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic treatment strategy [6]. According to reports, 75% cases of invasive breast carcinoma cases are accounted by IDC, however, advanced treatment of IDC patients still remains a challenge due to lack of molecular targets for IDC treatment [13], [14].…”

“…A recent large study of lobular features also categorized several mutations in the PTEN, TBX3, and FOXA1 genes that typify lobular carcinomas 14 . Additionally, ductal tumors often metastasize to the bone, lung and liver, via lymph glands and blood system, while lobular tumors are inclined to metastasize to genital tracts, the gastrointestinal system, and meninges 10 21 22 23 24 25 26 .…”
