Explain Mrs. Smith's diagnosis: Stage IIB Invasive Ductal Carcinoma T2N1miM0. Specifically discuss the type of breast cancer and the staging of her diagnosis.
A 40 year old woman presents for the evaluation of a left sided breast lump. She does have a strong positive family history, with her mother and one older sister both have had breast cancer. Physical examination is notable for a 2-cm lump in her left breast. A biopsy shows invasive ductal carcinoma. The tumor is positive for estrogen receptor expression HER2 gene amplification.
