there are stages I-IV and grades 1-3. So it would be correct to type grade 2/3. My primary account is oncology. Hope this helps.

breast cancer diagnosis
Subject: breast cancer diagnosis
I'm typing a report that says the patient has infiltrating ductal carcinoma, ER positive, PR positive and something that sounds phonetically like "hir-tu-nu" positive. Anybody know what she's talking about? Later she says "node positive" so I suspect it has something to do with lymph nodes. Thanks in advance!

Selenium + vitamin E can prevent & cure both breast cancer & prostate cancer! (Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium, & sunflower seeds are an awesome source of natural vitamin E!)
And YES, of course the drug companies know about it, but broadcasting this information to the public would stop the flow of nearly $$ 1/2 million per cancer patient! Not to mention all the multiplied millions in donations to the ACS for the so-called "Race for a Cure," which is a lying farce. All that money guarantees that they will never want to be put out of business.

Subject: breast cancer - type of tumor
The lady who is doing well after her left partial mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy. All three sentinel lymph nodes were negative for malignancy. In the partial mastectomy, __scarsman__ II tumors were identified. The first was an invasive carcinoma, moderately differentiated, measuring 1.5 centimeters in maximum dimension associated with DCIS which was also of intermediate nuclear grade.
I have looked under types of tumor, and googled it under different terms and cannot come up with anything. I'm probably not even close!
Thanks for your help!
