Substantive research is needed to accelerate understanding of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), including metastatic ILC. This distinct breast cancer subtype represents about 15% of all breast cancers. Increased research could help improve detection, treatment, prevention of metastasis, and ultimately, develop a cure for people with ILC.
