Conclusion
Le pronostic des petites tumeurs infiltrantes du sein,
même s’il est globalement excellent, n’en est pas
moins hétérogène, et mérite d’être attentivement
évalué au cas par cas. Il est notable que les facteurs
biologiques conventionnels et ceux plus récents,
comme les signatures moléculaires, s’appliquent
avec la même importance que pour les tumeurs
de plus de 1 cm, et doivent être systématiquement
appréciés. ■
