1. Breast carcinomas most often arise from the terminal duct lobular unit and can be benign or malignant lesions that are either in situ or invasive. 2. Malignant breast tumors are classified both molecularly based on markers like estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, HER2/neu, and Ki67 and morphologically based on histological type. 3. The main molecular types are luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched, and basal-like (triple negative) while the morphological types include invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, and other special histological subtypes.
