Invasive Lobular Carcinoma – ILC Breast...
Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) is a type of breast cancer that starts in the lobules of your breast, where milk is produced. Invasive Lobular Carcinoma does not always feel like a breast lump, because it may grow in a web-like mass. Learn about the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment for Invasive Lobular Carcinoma.

First genetic link discovered to difficult-to-diagnose breast cancer sub-type
The discovery of the genetic variant, in conjunction with other markers, could help in the development of future genetic screening tools to assess women's risk of developing invasive lobular cancer, and also gives researchers important new clues about the genetic causes of the disease and a related precursor to cancer called lobular carcinoma in situ.

Common breast cancer subtype may benefit from personalized treatment approach
The second-most common type of breast cancer is a very different disease than the most common and appears to be a good candidate for a personalized approach to treatment, according to new research. Invasive lobular carcinoma, characterized by a unique growth pattern in breast tissue that fails to form a lump, has distinct genetic markers which indicate drug therapies may provide benefits beyond those typically prescribed for the more common invasive ductal carcinoma.

Personalized treatment approach may be best for second-most common breast cancer subtype
The second-most common type of breast cancer is a very different disease than the most common and appears to be a good candidate for a personalized approach to treatment, according to a multidisciplinary team led by University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) scientists.Invasive lobular carcinoma, which is characterized by a unique growth pattern in breast tissue that fails to form a lump, has distinct genetic markers that indicate there may be benefits from drug therapies beyond those typically prescribed for the more common invasive ductal carcinoma.

Anastrozole may cut breast cancer risk
Conclusion
Overall, the study provides solid and believable evidence that anastrozole can reduce the number of new cases of breast cancer in postmenopausal women at higher than average risk of developing breast cancer.
The study has many strengths, including its large sample size and robust study design. However, the study also has limitations to note.
The results only apply to a specific group of postmenopausal women at a higher than average risk of developing breast cancer. "Higher risk" was defined using a number of very specific criteria. This means the results are not applicable to other groups of postmeno...

Some women with abnormal breast lesions may avoid surgery
Surgery is not always necessary for women with a type of breast tissue abnormality associated with a higher risk of cancer, according to a new study published online in the journal Radiology. Researchers said that periodic imaging and clinical exam are effective in these patients when radiology and pathology findings are benign and concordant, or in agreement. Atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are abnormal breast lesions that occasionally appear as incidental findings in breast biopsies...
