Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. The name "phyllodes," which is taken from the Greek language and means "leaflike," refers to that fact that the tumor cells grow in a leaflike pattern. Other names for these tumors are phylloides tumor and cystosarcoma phyllodes. Phyllodes tumors tend to grow quickly, but they rarely spread outside the breast.

Website about Phyllodes tumors has been launched!
Phyllodes tumors are relatively rare. Therefore there is little information available, even for doctors. In order to get more attention for this special breast tumor, a group of volunteers involved has set up a website. www.phyllodestumor.org , which is part of www.phyllodes.net
The available information so far about Phyllodes has been spread over various sites, trade journals and support groups. For www.Phyllodestumor.nl, volunteers have brought all available information in one place. The site has been set up to share the knowledge about this rare tumor with both patients and physicians. On www.phyllodestumor.org articles and information about this rare form of breast tumors are readily available. In addition, the site provides information about the different forms, treatment methods, prognoses and risks of Phyllodes tumors.
The content of the site was developed in collaboration with
breast cancer surgeon Mr. F. van Duijnhoven (AVL A’dam).
Launch: Thursday 6 September 2018 4 pm Antoni van Leeeuwenhoek hospital Plesmanlaan 121 1066 CX Amsterdam
