LBCA has developed a new patient resource to help clear up common and pervasive myths about invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and its treatment.

Many misconceptions about ILC exist, sometimes propagated by patients and other times by physicians. Such misconceptions may arise from trying to generalize an individual patient’s situation to all patients, from outdated or inadequate research studies, or from common beliefs that have been shared over the years. We refer to such generalizations and misconceptions as myths.

The contents in this new resource were compiled with the assistance of the administrators of the private IlC patient FaceBook groups and developed into a document by LBCA with input from the Patient Advocate Advisory Board (PAAB) and Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) members.
