Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) is a type of cancer that affects the glandular tissue in the breast. It is the second most common type of breast cancer after ductal carcinoma and accounts for 10–15% of all breast cancer cases. It is typically more difficult to detect than ductal carcinoma due to its insidious nature, often manifesting as broad and diffuse heterogeneity. ILC is associated with poor prognosis, but early detection and effective treatment can lead to increased survival rates. The treatment of ILC typically involves a combination of surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy, depending on the stage and characteristics of the tumor. As such, it is important for patients to be aware of the signs and symptoms of ILC, and if present, to seek appropriate medical attention.
