Hi Bena - Thanks for this. Question - I can't find any information on carcinocarcinoma. My mother is 90% "spindle cell carcinoma". I thought carcinoma was a medical term for cancer. Is that accurate? or could it be she has the more dangerous subtype?

Amy
Spindle cell carcinoma is Spindle sub-type.
Carcinocarcinoma is very different. She does not have it X

My wife had a radical mastectomy and 19 lymph nodes removed. She had a estrogen positive grade 3 tumor in her breast. Dissection of the lymph nodes showed 9 with metaplastic keratinized squamous cell carcinoma. She just finished with A/C then radiation; no taxol as she had a violent reaction to it (almost died). She has two types of cancers, estrogen positive and triple negative. The above chart is very helpful - thanks.

Thanks to the lovely Cinannmon for pointing out that Carcino Carinoma frequently used term is Carcino Sarcoma. Sorry for any confusion!
