CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Intended Learning outcomes By the end of this talk you should Be aware of the calssification of tumours Know how tumours are named Be familiar with the differences between benign and malignant tumours Know how malignant tumours spread
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Calssification Of Tumours Usually on basis of presumed cell/tissue of origin OR On predicted behaviour
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Calssification Of Malignant Tumours Usually on basis of cell/tissue of origin Main groups are: Epithelial Connective tissue (mesenchymal) Lymphoid/haematological Mixture of all (teratomas)
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Nomenclature Tissue of origin Epithelial: cell of origin benign malignant Squamous cell Papilloma Sq C carcinoma Glandular Adenoma Adenocarcinoma Transitional TC Papilloma T C carcinoma Basal BC Papilloma B C carcinoma
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Nomenclature Tissue of origin Mesenchymal: cell of origin benign malignant Smooth Muscle Leiomyoma Leiomyosarcoma Striated Muscle Rhabdomyoma Rhabdomyosarcoma Blood Vs Heam(angioma) Angiosarcoma Nerves Neurofibroma Neurofibrosarcoma Adepose tissue Lipoma Liposarcoma Cartilage Chondroma Chondrosarcoma Bone Osteoma Osteosarcoma
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Benign Tumours Generally slow growing Remain localised Do not invade surrounding tissues Do not spread to distant sites Resemble tissue of origin i.e. Well differentiated
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Benign Tumours (Microscopic) Mitotic activity is low Mitotic figures appear normal Nuclei appear normal No necrosis
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Benign Tumours (Effects) May be unsightly, removed for cosmotic purposes Damage tissue by pressure effects Block ducts such as a pancreas or bronchus Block flow of fluid in brain May secrete hormones May become malignant
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours Generally rapid growing Irregular edges poorly defined margins Invade surrounding tissues Spread to distant sites May not resemble tissue of origin i.e. poorly differentiated or anaplastic
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours (Microscopic) Mitotic activity is high Abnormal Mitotic figures Nuclei are hyperchromatic and pleomorphic Necrosis usually occur
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours (Spread) Invade surrounding tissues Spread via lymphatic channels to lymph nodes Spread via blood stream to other organs i.e. metastasis Spread across body cavities
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours - Effects Destruction of adjacent tissues causing pain and loss of function Pressure on structures leading to necrosis and infection Haemorrhage from surface ulceration Obstruction of flow through vital structures
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours - Effects Secondary deposits (metastasis) causing damage at distant sites Cachexia (wasting) due to tumour necrosis factor- α Production of hormones either appropriate or inappropriate (ectopic) Paraneoplastic syndromes
carcinoma of breast . This is not a specific histologic type of breast cancer, but rather it implies dermal lymphatic invasion by some type of underlying breast carcinoma. Such involvement of dermal lymphatics gives the grossly thickened, erythematous, and rough skin surface with the appearance of an orange peel (" peau d'orange "). BACK
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours - Metastasis Process by which neoplastic cells from primary tumour spread to distant sites. Involves primary tumour invation into surrounding tissues, specially vessels (lymphatic or blood) Then detachment within vessels and transport as emboli
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours - Metastasis Extravasation (move from vessel to tissue) and growth at distant sites Lymphatic spread leads to lymph node involvement
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours - Metastasis Blood vessel spread leads to haematogenous metastasis (liver, lung, bone and brain) Less commonly, transcoelomic spread occurs (across body cavities)
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours Stage/Grade of tumours GRADE refers to how closely tumours resemble their tissue of origin STAGE refers to how far a tumour has spread at the time of presentation
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours Stage/Grade of tumours Different systems exist for different tumours Dukes ’ stage predicts prognosis for colorectal tumours Duke ’ s A: 90% 5yrs, continued to bowel wall Duke ’ s B: 66% 5yrs, outside bowel wall, LN -ve Duke ’ s C: 33% 5yrs, LN +ve
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Malignant Tumours Stage/Grade of tumours TNM system T : Primary tumour size N : Lymph Node involvement M : Distant metastasis Different TNM for each different organ and tumour
Breast Blood + Lymphatic Supply Arterial: Anterior perforating branches of internal mammary artery (internal thoracic) Branches of external mammary artery (lateral thoracic) Venous: Axillary vein Internal thoracic vein
Breast Blood + Lymphatic Supply Lymphatic: 75% To ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes Central Pectoral Subscapular Remainder to infra/supraclavicular and parasternal lymph nodes, and to contralateral breast

Breast Histology
Breast Histology (lobules)
carcinoma of breast . This is not a specific histologic type of breast cancer, but rather it implies dermal lymphatic invasion by some type of underlying breast carcinoma. Such involvement of dermal lymphatics gives the grossly thickened, erythematous, and rough skin surface with the appearance of an orange peel (" peau d'orange "). BACK
Duct Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) Aka intaduct carcinoma Tumour cells confined to ducts and acini – no evidence of any invation of surrounding stromal tissue Tumour cells therefore have no access to lymphatics or blood vessels Approximately 3 – 5% cancers in symptomatic series and Up to 25% in screening series Clinical presentations: mass, nipple discharge, paget ’ s disease. Mammographic presentation: microcalcification
Duct Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)
Breast Cancer Second most common cancer after lung 10.4% of all cancer incidence Commonly arises in lobules or ducts Can present with symptoms e.g. lump, lymphadenopathy, nipple discharge Can be identified on screening e.g. mammogram Requires triple assessment 1. Clinical examination 2. Radiology (mammogram, Ultrasound) 3. Tissue diagnosis (FANC, core biopsy, excisional biopsy)
Br Ca Macroscopic Appearance
Br Ca Lymph Nodes Historically, large groups were removed Side effects: lymphoedema Sentinel lymph node mapping - Examines first node(s) to drain tumour for evidence of malignancy - Identify with dye & radiation - Can prevent 65 – 70% of patients having unnecessary axillary node clearance

Invasive Carcinomas Invasive duct carcinoma (carcinoma of no special type [NST] Invasive lobular carcinoma Tubular carcinoma Mucinous carcinoma Medullary (like) carcinoma Metaplastic carcinoma Rarities
Ductal, NST Commonest up to 75% Contains <50% of special type characteristics Wide variety of histological appearances
Vertebral metastasis
Vertebral metastasis
Liver metastasis
Tumour staging Based on degree of tumour spread TNM classification T – local spread – size, involvement of local structures e.g. skin, chest wall N – Nodes – axillary (IPSL – and contralateral), internal mammary, supraclavicular. Number and size (very complicated) M – distant metastasis
Stage grouping Grouped into stage 0 – stage IV according to TNM classification Eg. Stage 1 – T1,N0,M0 Stage IV – M1, any T and N Useful for clinical trials
Prognostic indicators Lymph node stage Tumour size Tumour grade Tumour type Lymphovascular invasion (extensive DCIS at margins) (Margin clearance)
Surgery Treatment depends on stage Surgery is the mainstay Clear margins important 1. Wide local excision (lumpectomy/ breast conservative therapy) 2. Mastectomy if Multi-focal tumours Previous radiotherapy to breast Tumour large relative to breast Patient preference
Other treatments Radiotherapy - Reduces risk of local recurrence Chemotherapy - Systemic treatment, more advanced disease Hormone Therapy - Depending on ER/PR expression - Tamoxifen (ER antagonist) - Aromatase inhibitors (block oestrogen production) Monoclonal antibodies -Herceptin (HER2/neu receptor antagonist)
CLASSIFICATION OF TUMOURS Intended Learning outcomes By now you should Be aware of the calssification of tumours Know how tumours are named Be familiar with the differences between benign and malignant tumours Know how malignant tumours spread
Breast Carcinoma The most common malignancy in women In UK 1 in 10-12 chances 1 in 8 women in US Less incidence in Asia Majority of cancers arise in the ducts. Very rare before age 25
Normal Breast Large duct Lobules
Normal Breast A normal breast acinus. Note the epithelial cells lining the lumen demonstrate apocrine secretion with snouting, or cytoplasmic extrusions, into the lumen.
Comparison of the gross characteristics of a classic infiltrating ductal carcinoma on the left and a benign fibroadenoma on the right Crab like shape due to lines of infiltration
Infiltrating Duct Carcinoma Prominent bands of collagen Tendcy to form ductal strucures
Invasive Lobular Carcinom Indian File Strands
Infiltrating Duct Carcinoma Local Spread Retraction of nipple Fixation to underlying muscle
Here is a surgical excision of a small mass from the breast. The mass is well-circumscribed. Grossly it felt firm and rubbery. This is a fibroadenoma . The blue dye around the fibroadenoma was used to mark the lesion during needle localization in radiology so that the surgeon could find this small mass . BACK
Here is the microscopic appearance of a fibroadenoma . To the right is compressed breast connective tissue forming a "capsule " to this mass. The neoplasm itself is composed of a fibroblastic stroma in which are located elongated compressed ducts lined by benign appearing epithelium BACK
This is the gross appearance of fibrocystic changes in the breast . A 1.5 cm cyst is noted here. This can lead to palpation of an ill-defined "lump " in the breast. Sometimes, fibrocystic changes produce a more diffusely lumpy breast . BACK
Another example of microscopic fibrocystic changes of the breast are shown here. Fibrocystic changes account for the majority of "breast lumps " that are found in women of reproductive years , particularly between age 30 and menopause . BACK
This is the histologic appearance of fibrocystic changes in breast . There are cystically dilated ducts , areas of lobules that are laced with abundant fibrous connective tissue ( sclerosing adenosis ), and stromal fibrosis . There is even a small area of microcalcification seen just to the upper right of center. No atypical changes are seen here BACK
Prominent sclerosing adenosis , one of the features of fibrocystic changes , is demonstrated by the appearance of a proliferation of small ducts in a fibrous stroma. Although it is benign , the gross and mammographic appearance may mimic carcinoma, and it can be difficult to distinguish from carcinoma on frozen section . BACK
There is prominent Apocrine Metaplasia change of the cells lining the cysts in this example of fibrocystic changes of breast . Note the tall, pink, columnar nature of the epithelial cells. This appearance is benign . BACK
A small benign intraductal papilloma appears here in a breast duct, typically in one of the main lactiferous ducts beneath the areola . Note that the epithelial cells show no atypia and that there is a fine pink collagenous stroma within the papilloma . An intraductal papilloma may be associated with a serous or bloody nipple discharge , or it may cause some nipple retraction . BACK
Infiltrating ductal carcinoma , the pleomorphism of the carcinoma cells within the duct in the center (in a cribriform pattern ), as well as the neoplastic cells infiltrating through the stroma and fat, can be seen BACK
“Scirrhous carcinoma of the breast” , small nests and infiltrating strands of neoplastic cells with prominent bands of collagen between them. It is this marked increase in the dense fibrous tissue stroma that produces the characteristic hard "scirrhous " appearance of the typical infiltrating ductal carcinoma . Note the nerve surrounded by the neoplasm at the lower left . BACK
Lobular carcinoma in situ is seen here. Lobular CIS consists of a neoplastic proliferation of cells in the terminal breast ducts and acini. The cells are small and round . Though these lesions are low grade , there is a 30% risk for development of invasive carcinoma in the same or the opposite breast . BACK
The cells of this breast carcinoma are highly positive for estrogen receptor with this immunoperoxidase stain . Estrogen receptor positivity correlates with a better prognosis because such positive neoplastic cells are better differentiated and more sensitive to hormonal manipulation . BACK
Paget's cells of Paget's disease of breast have abundant clear cytoplasm and appear in the epidermis either singly or in clusters. The nuclei of the Paget's cells are atypical and, though not seen here, often have prominent nucleoli BACK
This variant of breast cancer is known as colloid, or mucinous, carcinoma . Note the abundant bluish mucin . The carcinoma cells appear to be floating in the mucin. This variant tends to occur in older women and is slower growing , and if it is the predominant histologic pattern present, then the prognosis is better than for non-mucinous, invasive carcinomas . BACK
carcinoma of breast . This is not a specific histologic type of breast cancer, but rather it implies dermal lymphatic invasion by some type of underlying breast carcinoma. Such involvement of dermal lymphatics gives the grossly thickened, erythematous, and rough skin surface with the appearance of an orange peel (" peau d'orange "). BACK
