Let’s be Upfront about invasive lobular carcinoma. The second most common form of invasive breast cancer, picking up lobular carcinoma on mammograms can be difficult as they often don’t present as a lump in the breast.

In this episode, we’re joined by BCNA board member, surgical oncologist and specialist breast surgeon Professor Bruce Mann to help break down all of the information around invasive lobular carcinoma.

This episode covers:

• What invasive lobular carcinoma is
• Detection of invasive lobular carcinoma, often in the absence of a lump
• How invasive lobular carcinoma is diagnosed
• The role of artificial intelligence and computer algorithms in diagnosis
• Treatment of invasive lobular carcinoma
