Hi! I had multi-focal IDC. Multi-centric means more than one area of cancer in the same breast, but in different quadrants. Multi-focal means more than one area of cancer in the same breast and in the same quadrant. Here's something I found when I was looking for more information: http://breast-cancer.ca/multi-tumrs/.

Hi guys. I had multicentric tumors. One was IDC and the other was ILC. I did not have lymph node involvement. My doc at a major NYC university hospital told me that he didn't think I had lymph nose involvement and he was right. He also told me that use to combine the 2 tumors for staging but they now believe staging by the largest tumor is much more accurate. He also told me that being Multicentric would not affect my prognosis. Good luck to all...
