Invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast: clinicopathological features and patient outcomes

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the good prognostic characteristics and good response to treatment, several studies have reported that ILC is associated with poor long-term outcomes. Therefore, significant challenges remain in the management of ILC. Although it is believed to be a specific histological type, ILC is clinically and pathologically heterogenous. Therefore, the identification of patients with poor prognostic variants should aid in the implementation of efficient and personalized treatment options.KEY WORDS: Breast cancer, Invasive cancer, Invasive lobuler carcinoma, Prognosis, Variants of lobuler carcinoma.PMID:34795114
