Epidemiology It settles in or around the nipple. 0.5 to 5% of all tissue changes in the breast are Paget’s cancer. Usually the affected patients are between 40 and 50 years old, but rarely the cancer form Paget’s disease can also manifest itself in patients aged 20 years. The average age for the first manifestation … Epidemiology | What is Paget’s disease?
Trigger To date, the exact development of the cancer form “Paget’s disease” has not been determined, but two theories have been developed.One theory, currently considered the most likely, is that the cancer cells (called Paget cells) form a tumor in the breast, which then emerges through the surface and leads to visible skin changes on … Trigger | What is Paget’s disease?
Therapy Prognosis and therapy of Paget’s disease depend entirely on the stage and type of breast cancer. In the case of Paget’s disease, treating only the skin alteration is by no means sufficient and is not effective, since the cancer continues to grow in the breast tissue underneath. Prognosis/opportunity for healing Paget’s disease of the … Therapy | What is Paget’s disease?

Introduction A metastasis in the medical sense is understood to be two different clinical pictures with a similar background: the splitting off of tumor cells from the primary tumor and colonization of tumor-derived tissues and the settling of bacteria from the original site of inflammation. In the following, the former will be discussed here. Definition … Metastases
Factors Not every primary tumor has the same potential to form metastases. On the one hand, this depends on the type of tumor and the characteristics of the tumor cells, but on the other hand, it also depends on the body of the affected patient, in particular his or her immune system. A prerequisite for … Factors | Metastases
Specific metastasis pathways As already mentioned, for certain primary tumors there are typical sites for developing metastases depending on the outflow of lymph and bloodstream. The surface characteristics of the cancer cells also determine the metastasis site, e.g. lung cancer or colon cancer cells occasionally metastasize into the adrenal gland, since they find similar tissue … Specific metastasis pathways | Metastases
HistoScanning is a diagnostic imaging technique based on ultrasound examination that urologists have been using since 2008 to detect areas of the prostate suspected to be cancerous, which are then targeted for biopsy.
