Type of Breast CA: Tubular breast cancer is a type of invasive ductal cancer, so named because of it's appearance under the microscope. This represents 5-10% of all breast cancers. It tends to occur in women over 50 and is usually low-grade. All things being equal, our cure rates are very high with this type of cancer.
