  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is an uncommon condition in which abnormal cells form in the milk glands (lobules) in the breast. Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) isn’t cancer. But being diagnosed with LCIS indicates that you have an increased risk of developing breast cancer. […] Women with LCIS have an increased risk of developing invasive breast cancer in either breast. If you’re diagnosed with LCIS, your doctor may recommend increased breast cancer screening and may ask you to consider medical treatments to reduce your risk of developing invasive breast cancer. […] LCIS doesn’t cause signs or symptoms. Rather, your doctor might discover incidentally that you have LCIS for instance, after a biopsy to assess a breast lump or an abnormal area found on a mammogram. […] If LCIS is detected in a breast biopsy, it doesn’t mean that you have cancer. But having LCIS increases your risk of breast cancer and makes it more likely that you may develop invasive breast cancer. […] Your individual risk of breast cancer is based on many factors. Talk to your doctor to better understand your personal risk of breast cancer.

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a type of breast change that is sometimes seen when a breast biopsy is done. In LCIS, cells that look like cancer cells are growing in the lining of the milk-producing glands (lobules) of the breast, but they dont invade through the wall of the lobules. […] LCIS is not considered cancer, and it typically does not spread beyond the lobule (that is, it doesn’t become invasive breast cancer) if it isnt treated. But having LCIS does increase your risk of later developing an invasive breast cancer in either breast. […] Women with LCIS have about a 7 to 12 times higher risk of developing invasive cancer in either breast. For this reason, doctors typically recommend that women with LCIS have regular breast cancer screening tests and follow-up visits with a health care provider for the rest of their lives.

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a rare breast condition. It causes abnormal cells in your lobules the glands in your breasts that produce breast milk. LCIS isnt breast cancer but it does increase the chance youll have breast cancer. Healthcare providers can treat the condition with medication. In some cases, they may recommend surgery. […] Having LCIS doesnt mean you have a serious illness. But a diagnosis of LCIS does increase the chance that youll develop breast cancer later on. […] Your treatment depends on the type of LCIS. For example, if you have classic LCIS, your healthcare provider may recommend active surveillance or preventive therapy. If you have pleomorphic or florid LCIS, you may need surgery. […] Active surveillance involves regular follow-up examinations and tests. For example, your healthcare provider may do a breast examination every six months. Theyll probably recommend that you have a mammogram every year. They may recommend additional tests, like a breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a non-cancerous condition where abnormal cells grow in the milk glands of your breast. While LCIS is not breast cancer, your risk of getting cancer increases if you’re diagnosed with it. […] If you’re diagnosed with LCIS, your Aurora cancer specialist may recommend more screenings and treatments to lower your risk of developing invasive breast cancer. […] Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a non-invasive cancer that grows inside the milk glands (lobules) in the breast and hasn’t spread to nearby tissue. […] With LCIS, abnormal cells are found in the lobules of the breast. The term in situ means „in place,” so the abnormal cells do not penetrate the walls of the lobules or invade the surrounding breast tissue. […] LCIS is not considered cancer, but it does indicate a greater risk for developing breast cancer in the future. Yet, it doesn’t always lead to cancer itself.

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is caused by abnormal cells forming within the milk glands (lobules) in the breast. It is most common in women between the ages of 40 and 50. LCIS is not a cancer but it does increase the risk of developing breast cancer. […] Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is commonly an incidental finding on biopsy of the breast for another reason. […] Management of Lobular Carcinoma in Situ includes: Close observation e.g. clinical breast examinations, annual mammograms or MRI of the breasts. Chemoprevention, which is taking medication to reduce the risk of cancer. These drugs may include Tamoxifen or Raloxifene for 5 years. Surgery, where preventive or prophylactic mastectomy may be considered if there is a high risk based on a strong family history of breast cancer or if there is a BRCA gene mutation. […] There is an increase of 20 percent cancer risk over 15 years at the point of diagnosis.

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a relatively uncommon condition in which abnormal cells develop in the milk-producing glands (lobules) of a breast. Despite the word carcinoma in its name, LCIS is not a precancerous or cancerous condition. For this reason, it is no longer referred to as stage 0 breast cancer. […] Lobular carcinoma in situ does not produce noticeable symptoms or mammogram features. The unusual pattern of cell growth can only be seen during the microscopic evaluation of the breast tissue. In most cases, LCIS is an incidental finding in a breast biopsy performed for an unrelated reason, such as to evaluate a suspicious breast lump. […] After confirming a diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in situ, a physician may recommend more frequent breast cancer screenings, including clinical breast examinations and mammograms, and possibly prescribe a medication such as tamoxifen to help prevent the abnormal cells from transitioning into cancer. […] People who are diagnosed with lobular carcinoma in situ have a very good prognosis. With careful monitoring by an experienced physician and appropriate treatment when necessary, a patient with LCIS can remain healthy and cancer-free.

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is further subdivided into classic lobular carcinoma in situ (CLCIS) and pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ (PLCIS). […] LCIS confers a much higher risk (9-10 times increased risk) of breast cancer than atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) (4-5 times increased risk). […] The 2016 National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for the management of LCIS recommend surgical excision for LCIS diagnosed on CNB. […] Multiple studies, including one prospective study, have recently reported low upgrade rates ranging from 1-5% upon exclusion of specimens with high risk characteristics such as non-classic morphology, discordant imaging and pathology, and extensive LCIS (4 foci). […] As indicated above, LCIS is considered both a high-risk lesion and a non-obligate precursor which confers a 10-20% risk for development of breast cancer.

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a type of in-situ carcinoma of the breast. While DCIS is considered a pre-cancer, it is unclear whether LCIS is a pre-cancer or if it’s just a general risk factor for developing breast cancer. This is because LCIS rarely seems to turn into invasive cancer if it’s left untreated. Having LCIS does increase a person’s risk of getting breast cancer, but the cancer occurs just as often in the opposite breast (the one without any LCIS). Because it isn’t clear if LCIS is a pre-cancer, many doctors prefer to use the term lobular neoplasia instead of lobular carcinoma in situ. […] For classic LCIS where there are no other concerning features, follow-up with breast exams and imaging tests (such as mammograms) might be all that is needed. […] Because LCIS increases a person’s risk of breast cancer later on, your doctor might talk to you about lifestyle changes and/or taking medicine to lower your risk of breast cancer.

  If classic LCIS is found by an excisional biopsy, it typically does not need further treatment. However, with pleomorphic or florid LCIS, it’s important that the edges (margins) of the biopsy specimen don’t contain LCIS cells (which might mean that some were left behind). If they do, the doctor may recommend a more extensive surgery to make sure all of it was removed.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lobular-carcinoma-in-situ/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20374535

  Surgery may be recommended in certain situations. For instance, surgery is often recommended for a specific type of LCIS called pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ (PLCIS). […] Another option for treating LCIS is preventive (prophylactic) mastectomy. This surgery removes both breasts not just the breast affected with LCIS to reduce your risk of developing invasive breast cancer. […] Although LCIS is not cancer, it can make you worry about your increased risk of a future breast cancer. Coping with your diagnosis means finding a long-term way to manage your fear and uncertainty. […] If your biopsy reveals LCIS, you’ll likely have a follow-up appointment with your doctor.

• #12 Lobular Carcinoma in Situ (LCIS)

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21791-lobular-carcinoma-in-situ-lcis

  As the name implies, preventive therapy is a treatment intended to keep abnormal cells in your lobules from becoming cancerous cells. […] If tests show you have pleomorphic or florid LCIS, your oncologist may recommend breast cancer surgery, including: Lumpectomy: This surgery removes abnormal cells and a small amount of healthy breast tissue. Prophylactic bilateral mastectomy: This surgery removes both of your breasts. Your provider may recommend mastectomy if an immediate family member, such as your mother, daughter or sister, had or has breast cancer. […] That depends on your situation, including the type of LCIS that you have. If you wonder what to expect, ask your healthcare provider to explain whats going on in your breast and your treatment options. Understanding your options will help you feel more confident about your plan for living with LCIS.

  Your doctor may suggest taking hormone therapy for 5 years to lower your risk of developing invasive breast cancer. […] You are more likely to have surgery rather than monitoring if you have a particular type of LCIS called pleomorphic LCIS or florid LCIS. […] Rarely you have surgery to remove your breast (a mastectomy). You might have this if the changes are widespread throughout the breast. […] Research has focused on trying to find genetic changes that might increase the risk of developing LCIS. […] Researchers are also looking into using different types of hormone therapy to prevent invasive breast cancer after a diagnosis of LCIS.

  https://www.komen.org/breast-cancer/risk-factor/lobular-carcinoma-in-situ/

  When abnormal cells grow inside the breast lobules, but have not spread to nearby tissue or beyond, the condition is called lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). […] Although the term LCIS includes the word carcinoma, LCIS is not cancer. […] Women with LCIS have an increased risk of invasive breast cancer. […] Compared to women without LCIS, those with LCIS are 7-11 times more likely to develop invasive cancer in either breast (the breast with LCIS or the opposite breast). […] Women diagnosed with LCIS have about a 10% chance of developing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive breast cancer in 10 years. […] Women with LCIS can develop invasive lobular cancer or invasive ductal cancer. […] In the past, LCIS was not considered to be a precursor (a condition that can develop into) to breast cancer. However, some studies show LCIS may develop into invasive lobular cancer (invasive breast cancer that begins in the lobules).

  Lobular carcinoma starts in the groups of glands that make milk (called lobules). It may be non-invasive (called lobular carcinoma in situ) or invasive. […] LCIS is a buildup of abnormal cells in the lobules. These cells do not spread outside the lobules into nearby breast tissue. LCIS often develops in many different parts of the breast at the same time. It often develops in both breasts at the same time. […] LCIS is neither a true precancerous condition nor breast cancer. It is a sign, or marker, that a woman is at a higher risk of developing breast cancer in the future. Many women with LCIS do not develop invasive breast cancer. […] Because of this increased risk, it is very important for women with LCIS to be screened for breast cancer. […] If you are diagnosed with LCIS, talk to your doctor about a personal plan for screening for breast cancer. This plan may include having mammography more often. You may also want to talk with your doctor about a treatment plan. You may be offered hormonal therapy with tamoxifen (Nolvadex, Tamofen). Some women may consider having surgery to remove the breasts (called a prophylactic mastectomy) if they have other risk factors for breast cancer as well as LCIS.

• #17 Lobular Carcinoma In-Situ (LCIS)

  https://cbcn.ca/en/lobular-carcinoma-in-situ

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) describes a condition in which there is abnormal cell growth in the lining on the lobules that dont invade the wall of the lobules. […] While LCIS is a benign condition and is not considered to be breast cancer, having LCIS puts a person at an approximately 7 to 12 times higher risk of later developing invasive breast cancer. […] For women diagnosed with LCIS, the risk of developing breast cancer in 10 years is 10% and after 20 years of an LCIS diagnosis, the risk is 20%. […] If you have been diagnosed with LCIS, there is no action that you need to take since it is not cancer. However, there are a few options available to you to manage your increased risk of breast cancer. […] Options following a diagnosis of LCIS include: […] Close monitoring and increased surveillance: After being diagnosed with LCIS, you might take a wait and see approach.

  LCIS is commonly widespread in the breast, with patterns that are multifocal, multicentric, and/or bilateral. […] Women diagnosed with LCIS are typically quoted to have an 8- to 10-fold increased lifetime risk for developing breast cancer in both the ipsilateral and the contralateral breast. […] The absolute risk of breast cancer after LCIS is 20% to 25% after 20 years. […] Chemoprevention was the only factor found on multivariate analysis to influence breast cancer risk, substantially decreasing it. […] On average, they found a 2% annual incidence of breast cancer development in the setting of a prior diagnosis of LCIS. […] It is possible that some subgroups of LCIS may exhibit a more aggressive unilateral biology and preinvasive behavior. […] The extent of LCIS (few lobules vs. extensive disease) and subtyping based on classic versus pleomorphic histopathology has not always been a standard part of pathology reports.

  Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) represents 5.3% of in situ specimens, and is thought to carry a low risk for developing to the invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC). There is still no standard care approach for patients with LCIS. […] At present, there is no standardized treatment for LCIS. NCCN guidelines 2017 pointed out that surgical removal was suggested once LCIS was diagnosed via CNB. […] Great debate has hitherto existed on the treatment options of women diagnosed with LCIS. In the present study, impacts of various factors on survival outcomes for women with LCIS were analyzed using population-based data from the National Cancer Institutes Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. […] In our study, both UVA and MVA results indicated that patients underwent LA and LRT had better survival compared to those who accepted other treatments. […] Considering the medical expense and the risk of radiotherapy, we think LA may be the most appropriate option for patients with LCIS.

  Purpose: The increased breast cancer risk conferred by a diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is poorly understood. Here, we review our 29-year longitudinal experience with LCIS to evaluate factors associated with breast cancer risk. […] Conclusion: We observed a 2% annual incidence of breast cancer among women with LCIS. Common clinical factors used for risk prediction, including age and family history, were not associated with breast cancer risk. The lower breast cancer incidence in women opting for chemoprevention highlights the potential for risk reduction in this population.

  The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) strongly recommends women with LCIS take a risk-reducing drug (such as tamoxifen) to lower their risk of breast cancer. […] Today, the use of a risk-reducing drug (along with recommended breast cancer screening to find breast cancer early if it develops) is the preferred option over risk-reducing mastectomy for lowering risk in women with LCIS. […] In the past, risk-reducing bilateral mastectomy (surgery to remove both breasts) was considered for women with LCIS to lower breast cancer risk as much as possible. This is now discouraged since the risk reduction benefits from a risk-reducing drug and surgery are similar.

  Chemoprevention and aromatase inhibitors: Estrogen is a natural hormone in the body that has been found to increase the risk of developing breast cancer and making breast tumors grow. […] Additionally, aromatase inhibitors, which stops the enzyme aromatase from changing other hormones into estrogen, may also be used by post-menopausal women to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer following a diagnosis of LCIS. […] Surgery: The risks and benefits of having surgery to treat LCIS must be taken into consideration since an LCIS diagnosis is not guaranteed to become a breast cancer diagnosis. […] Surgical options for treating LCIS include: […] Ultrasound-guided, vacuum-assisted excision A fairly non-invasive method that removes the abnormal areas of the breast tissue. […] Lumpectomy Involves removing the abnormal areas of the breast tissue along with parts of the surrounding tissue.

[…] Because of the observation that women with breast cancer treated with Nolvadex had a lower risk of developing a new breast cancer in their unaffected breast, many doctors felt that Nolvadex may actually be able to prevent breast cancer from occurring. […] In patients with LCIS, the incidence of invasive breast cancer was reduced 56% by the administration of Nolvadex. […] All patients with LCIS may want to consider treatment intervention with Nolvadex or other anti-estrogens. […] A bilateral prophylactic mastectomy involves the preventive removal of both breasts.

Most cases of LCIS are found when a woman has a biopsy for another reason. Most women are not aware of any symptoms at the time of diagnosis. […] LCIS is not the same as invasive breast cancer. LCIS does not need to be treated if there are no other abnormal changes to the breast. However, having LCIS increases the risk of developing breast cancer. […] If a woman has LCIS, it’s important that she has regular check-ups, including: a physical examination of both breasts by a doctor once a year, a mammogram/ultrasound of both breasts once a year.
