Lobular carcinoma is a type of breast cancer that begins in the lobules, which are the glands responsible for milk production. It is known for its unique growth pattern, often making it more challenging to detect on mammograms compared to other types of breast cancer.

Lobular Carcinoma

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from breast cells and is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, though it can also occur in men. Early detection through screening and advances in treatment have significantly improved survival rates, making awareness and timely medical intervention crucial.

Breast Cancer

Lobules are small, defined sections of an organ, typically found in glandular structures like the liver, lungs, and mammary glands. They play a crucial role in the organ's function, as they are the site of specific processes such as secretion, filtration, or gas exchange, depending on the organ in which they are located.
