Tubular Breast Carcinoma

Tubular breast carcinoma is a rare and unique subtype of invasive ductal carcinoma, accounting for less than 2% of all breast cancer cases. As a leading preclinical CRO, Alfa Cytology has dedicated extensive research efforts to understanding the intricacies of this disease and developing innovative therapeutic approaches.

Introduction to Tubular Breast Carcinoma

Originating from the breast duct cells, tubular carcinoma is characterized by its distinct tubular architectural pattern and typically less aggressive behavior compared to other invasive breast cancers. Despite its rarity, this subtype presents distinct challenges in terms of accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment strategies.

Therapy Development for Tubular Breast Carcinoma

Tubular breast carcinoma is characterized by its heterogeneous nature, with diverse molecular profiles and varying responses to individual therapeutic agents. By combining targeted agents, immunotherapies, and traditional chemotherapeutics, researchers aim to target multiple signaling pathways and cellular processes simultaneously.
