Incredibly important to have this level of Research. I would particularly like to see some specific level of Research into Invasive Lobular Cancer #ILC Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer is the 2nd most common type of Breast Cancer. It is generally diagnosed at late stage because it frequently isn't picked up on Screening Mammograms. lLC is a unique histological subtype with no specific targeted treatment. It can metastasize to unusual places 10, 20 years after initial treatment. Lobular breast cancer can have a unique pattern of metastasis—spreading to distant sites of the body—compared to invasive ductal breast cancer. Both may metastasize to the bones, lungs, brain, and liver, though less frequently in lobular carcinoma. Unlike invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma tends to also spread to the ovaries, omentum, gastrointestinal tissues, and the peritoneum (the tissue surrounding the abdomen). Lobular breast cancer can recur and metastasize many years after diagnosis and treatment, so it is important to be aware of metastatic symptoms. We need more research into #LobularBreastCancer
Aisling, Breast Cancer Ireland CEO and her team need time to continue raising funds to invest in research and clinical trials so that they can change the landscape for more breast cancer patients into the future. Donate today at https://lnkd.in/g3yDmtQM
