Study: This type of tumor is growing rapidly and is difficult to detect

According to a new study, the rate of one type of breast cancer, invasive lobular carcinoma, has increased in the United States more than three times faster than that of all other types of breast tumors combined over the past decade.

This elusive type of breast cancer that is difficult to spot on routine mammograms is the cause of more than 1 in 10 cases nationwide.

The research, published in the Journal of the American Cancer Society, analyzed national data from 2012 to 2021 and found that the rate of invasive lobular carcinoma increased by about 2.8% each year, while the rate of all other types of breast cancer increased by about 0.8% per year.

What exactly is invasive lobular carcinoma and how common is it?

Invasive lobular carcinoma, also known as ILC or lobular breast cancer, is a type of breast cancer that begins in the milk-producing glands of the breast, called lobules, and then spreads to surrounding tissue. These malignant tumors are often hormone receptor-positive, meaning that the cancer cells grow in response to estrogen or progesterone.

ILC is the second most common type of breast cancer, after invasive ductal carcinoma, and accounts for 10% to 15% of all new breast cancer diagnoses, according to the National Cancer Institute. About 47,500 cases of ILC are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, and more women are diagnosed with it than with brain, kidney, liver, pancreatic or ovarian tumors. / CNA
