These comprehensive changes reflect WHO 4th Edition Breast Tumors and the 2018 In Situ Breast CAP Protocol and Invasive Breast Carcinoma CAP Protocol. The editors of the 2018 Breast rules strongly recommend you read the Breast Terms & Definitions AND the Breast H Rules as they provide detailed instructions for coding breast histologies.
