Peer Evaluation: Medullary Breast Carcinoma

Lead section: Topic of article stated, though not concise/direct. Lead sentence could use more information about the pathology and does not need to include information about treatment; save that for later. "DCIS" acronym is used and never defined.

Summary: Summarizes most major points, but misses one or more important aspects. Would like to see prognosis included. Could be organized more clearly.

Context: All information included is also present in body of the article

Other: The lead section should not include a histology slide.

Article

Organization: Great improvements in adding Tumor staging, Ridolfi Criteria, and the other subheadings and sections. Filling in the infobox would greatly enhance the aesthetic appeal of this page. Consider moving the table on "various types of cancer" back to external links section. This was a rather confusing table for such a short article. Most of the cancers described were not breast cancers.

Context: Covers info relevant to assigned topic; links to relevant articles all intact for background

Balance: Article presents balanced coverage without favoring one side unduly

Tone: Tone is neutral and appropriate for an encyclopedia audience

Images: Histopathology slide is relevant and well written. It should be moved out of lead section.

References

Citations: A few statements at the end of some paragraphs have unclear sourcing. Focus efforts on statements marked with "citation needed"

Sources: The sources are credible, but there are relatively few for a topic of such depth. May consider using e-books such as Robbins Pathology and other credible academic resources that speak to the topic

Completeness: Most references include completely filled-out citation template or are otherwise complete

You've made many additions to provide more meat to this article. Focus efforts on organizational changes that will be aesthetically appealing, simplify reader's interpretation, or summarize material more succinctly (eg - bullet points if lists are being generated) and supporting each statement with research.
