Phyllodes tumors arise from stromal and epithelial components rather than ducts/lobules, and are stratified into benign, borderline, and malignant categories with progressively higher recurrence and ...

Phyllodes tumours are uncommon fibroepithelial neoplasms characterised by a dual composition of epithelial and mesenchymal (stromal) components. They account for less than 1% of all breast tumours and ...

Accounting for less than 1% of breast tumors, phyllodes tumors can be difficult to diagnose due to their similarity under the microscope to other types of breast tumors. Most phyllodes tumors are ...

Malignant phyllodes tumors (MPTs) are rare fibroepithelial tumors of the breast with aggressive biologic behavior and high recurrence rates. Surgery remains the primary treatment modality for these ...

A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center characterizes the genetic underpinnings of a rare type of breast tumor called phyllodes tumors, offering the ...

Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are rare, fibroepithelial tumors of the breast that can arise as benign, borderline or malignant. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms behind their occurrence, and it ...
