A journey
The research goal was to compare of the metastatic pattern of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) at both first distant recurrence (FDR) as well as over the entire course of metastatic disease.
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common subtype of breast cancer; ILC differs from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) both in clinicopathological characteristics and responsiveness to systemic therapy.
Researchers from the University of North Carolina and other academic centers (more than 200 authors collaborated on this study) have identified three new subtypes of invasive lobular carcinoma. These subgroups are reactive-like, immune-related, and proliferative (n = 106).
