Papillary Breast Cancer  

What is papillary breast cancer?

Papillary breast cancer is a rare type of breast cancer.

The cells of papillary breast cancer often have receptors for the hormones, estrogen and progesterone, on their surface.
When present in the ducts of the breast, cells of papillary breast cancer are arranged in a fern-like pattern.

Even though papillary cancer of the ducts of the breast is not common, effective treatments are available.
