Working with the guidance of an international, expert Scientific Advisory Board of breast cancer researchers and clinicians, and collaborations with other breast cancer advocacy organizations in the US and internationally, LBCA provides a platform for invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) research, maintains a library of current lobular breast cancer publications, and identifies clinical trials and research advocacy opportunities with a focus on lobular breast disease.  As a clinician and/or researcher, you need the most relevant, up-to-date information for your patients and your work. We’re here to help by providing you with clinical peer-reviewed resources and an opportunity to query ILC expert clinicians and researchers.

ILC Education for Clinicians

LBCA is now offering the first of a series of ILC educational offerings for different types of clinicians. LBCA partnered with our Scientific Advisory Board and other clinicians with ILC expertise to develop two continuing medical education (CME) courses for radiologists specifically on the unique aspects of ILC as part of this new ILC Training Series. These will be offered free of charge to clinicians via the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Continuing Medical Education portal.

Designed to provide in-depth knowledge and practical insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and management of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma, this series features a range of presentations designed to meet the learning needs of clinicians across disciplines. Coming soon is an ILC training curriculum specifically for Advanced Practice Professionals (APPs–nurse practitioners and physician assistants).

ILC Research Publications Library

We’ve collected a library of published ILC research that is updated regularly.

Educational Videos 

We have an array of educational videos and podcasts, a collection of taped interviews with individuals or panels of clinicians or researchers on ILC- focused topics from past conferences, and videos on ILC Topics being discussed by our Scientific Advisory Board members available for viewing. Both you and your patients can review these trusted resources whenever is most convenient for you.
