Lobular Carcinoma in Situ (LCIS)
- Also called lobular neoplasia
- Abnormal cell growth starts in the lobules of the breast
- LCIS is regarded as a risk factor for the development of breast cancer. LCIS is recognized by its conformity to the outline of the normal lobule, with expanded and filled acini
- Not considered a true cancer because it is not likely to spread to surrounding tissues
- LCIS is an indicator that a woman may be more likely to develop invasive cancer in either breast
