Invasive lobular
carcinoma (ILC) may also be named as "infiltrating lobular
carcinoma." It affects about 1 out of 10 people diagnosed with invasive
breast cancer.
As the name suggests,
ILC frequently diverge of the milk gland (lobule) where it forms, and may
invade and infect other lymph nodes.
ILC is similar to other
invasive breast cancers in perfect can spread easily to other parts of the
body. However, unlike other breast cancers, ILC does not cause a lump to form.
