A member asked:
Is paget's disease cancerous in all cases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In Situ or Invasive: Paget's dz represents less than 5% of all breast cancers; cancer cells are found involving the skin of the nipple, resembling eczema.Over 95% of the time an underlying cancer is found elsewhere in the breast, more commonly in-situ rather than invasive. Traditional rx was mastectomy however central lumpectomy (removal of nipple and areola) followed by radiation therapy is an acceptable alternative.
