The breast pathology service evaluates cancers and other lesions of the breast. UCLA-home of the nationally-known Revlon/UCLA Breast Center and Iris-Cantor Center-offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic services including evaluation of biopsies and resections for diagnosis of conditions including intraductal and infiltrating carcinoma. Consultations include discussion of prognosis and assessment of therapeutic options.
