Invasive lobular breast carcinoma
MONDO:0005051An infiltrating lobular adenocarcinoma of the breast. The malignant cells lack cohesion and are arranged individually or in a linear manner (Indian files), or as narrow trabeculae within the stroma. The malignant cells are usually smaller than those of ductal carcinoma, are less pleomorphic, and have fewer mitotic figures.
Also known as: lobular carcinoma, lobular carcinoma (morphologic abnormality), lobular carcinoma NOS (morphologic abnormality), lobular carcinoma of the breast, classic invasive lobular carcinoma, infiltrating lobular adenocarcinoma, infiltrating lobular breast carcinoma, infiltrating lobular carcinoma of breast

Breast cancer trial combines targeted drug with hormone therapy to shrink tumors before surgery
Disease control OngoingThis phase 2 trial investigates whether adding the targeted drug palbociclib to standard endocrine therapy (letrozole or tamoxifen) improves tumor shrinkage before surgery in people with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. The study includes both invasive lobu…

New hope for rare breast cancer? trial of taletrectinib underway
Disease control PausedThis phase 2 trial is testing the drug taletrectinib in people with a rare, advanced form of breast cancer called invasive lobular carcinoma that has a specific gene change (CDH1 mutation). The study aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth. The trial…

Can a drug combo shrink breast tumors better before surgery?
Disease control OngoingThis phase 3 trial tests whether giving fulvestrant alone or with anastrozole before surgery works better than anastrozole alone for postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Over 1,400 participants will receive one of these hormone therapies for several…

New PET scan aims to spot hidden cancer spread
Diagnosis OngoingThis early-phase study is testing whether a special PET scan using a drug called PYLARIFY can better detect cancer that has spread in people with pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, or breast cancer. About 36 adults will receive the scan, and doctors will compare the results to stan…

New scan may better detect Hard-to-Find breast cancer spread
Diagnosis OngoingThis study compares two types of PET scans to see which is better at finding and tracking metastatic lobular breast cancer. About 30 adults with this type of cancer will receive both an experimental FES PET/CT scan and a standard FDG PET/CT scan. The goal is to improve detection …

Scientists probe Fat-Breast cancer link in 150 patients
Knowledge-focused OngoingThe FATLAS study is looking at how body fat (adiposity) influences breast cancer at both the whole-body and cellular levels. Researchers will enroll 150 breast cancer patients with different body types (lean, overweight, obese) and collect blood, tumor tissue, and body measuremen…

Gene hunt in lobular breast cancer could personalize care
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at 800 people with a type of breast cancer called lobular breast cancer. Researchers are searching for inherited gene changes that may raise cancer risk. Depending on the gene found, patients may get closer monitoring or preventive surgery. The goal is to tailor …
