Medical Conditions - Lobular Carcinoma In Situ

Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a rare condition in which abnormal cells form in the breast's milk glands (lobules). LCIS is not breast cancer, but it indicates an increased risk of developing breast cancer. People with lobular carcinoma in situ are ten times more likely to develop breast cancer than those who do not have this condition. LCIS is asymptomatic. The doctor may discover LCIS incidentally while performing a biopsy to evaluate a lump in your breast. Treatment for LCIS may include biopsy, careful observation, chemoprevention, and risk reduction surgery.
