| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We first described widely distributed normal-looking neuroendocrine (NE) cells showing isolated/scattered, clustered and/or circumferential emerging patterns in background tissues of some breast NE carcinoma (B-NEC) including NE ductal carcinoma in situ (NE-DCIS). These novel findings could be regarded as representing “NE cell hyperplasia” relevant to B-NEC development as a precancerous lesion. Furthermore, we reported low-grade B-NEC closely associated with intraductal papilloma and high-grade B-NEC containing conventional in situ ductal carcinoma foci. Thus, we have shown that multiple mechanisms are involved in the development of B-NEC.
