| lobular carcinoma in situ |
unlike DCIS, LCIS is not really cancer at all. Most physicians consider the finding of LCIS to be accidental, and it is thought to be a marker for breast cancer risk. That is, women with LCIS seem to have a 7?0 times increased risk of developing some form of breast cancer (usually invasive lobular carcinoma) over the next 20 years. LCIS does not warrant treatment by surgery or radiation therapy. Close follow up is most commonly indicated and LCIS is not easily seen on mammogram.
