Risk of invasive cancer
[edit | edit source]- SEER data, 2005 (1973-98) - PMID 16110014 — "Bilateral risk for subsequent breast cancer after lobular carcinoma-in-situ: analysis of surveillance, epidemiology, and end results data." Chuba PJ et al. J Clin Oncol. 2005 Aug 20;23(24):5534-41.
- Incidence of invasive carcinoma 7.1% at 10 yrs, 18% at 25 yrs.
- 46% ipsilateral / 54% contralateral. Higher proportion of cancers with ILC than in the general population (23.1% vs 6.5%).
- Conclusion: LCIS is associated with increased risk of subsequent invasive breast cancer, which can occur with roughly equal probability in either breast.
Prevention of invasive cancer
[edit | edit source]- P-1 prevention trial
- See page at Prevention for detail.
- 43% risk reduction with tamoxifen overall (46% for those with LCIS).
Surgery alone
[edit | edit source]- NSABP - PMID 14716756 — "Pathologic findings from the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project: twelve-year observations concerning lobular carcinoma in situ." Fisher ER et al. Cancer. 2004 Jan 15;100(2):238-44.
- Analysis of previous NSABP trial. 12-year results of 180 pts treated with surgical excision only.
- IBTR in 14.4% and CBTR in 7.8%. 9 of 26 IBTR and 10 of 14 CBTR were invasive, mostly invasive lobular carcinoma.
- Conclusion: LCIS is an indolent disease and can be managed with conservative surgery
LCIS concurrent with breast carcinoma
[edit | edit source]- U. Michigan; 2006 (1989-2003) PMID 16329136 -- "Is lobular carcinoma in situ as a component of breast carcinoma a risk factor for local failure after breast-conserving therapy? Results of a matched pair analysis." (Ben-David MA, Cancer. 2006 Jan 1;106(1):28-34.)
- Retrospective. 64 pts with Stage 0-II (DCIS or invasive ca.) breast carcinoma with LCIS as a component of the primary tumor. Compared with matched controls (LCIS-).
- Conclusion: The extent of LCIS and its presence at the margins did not reduce the excellent rates of local control after BCS+RT. The data suggest that LCIS in the tumor specimen, even when multifocal, should not affect selection of patients for BCS and whole-breast RT.
Pleomorphic LCIS
[edit | edit source]Uncommon (12% of LCIS cases). May be associated with invasive carcinoma (usually invasive lobular) 25% of the time. Biologically can behave similar to high grade DCIS.
Treatment is controversial. Some recommend complete excision with negative margins (see NCCN Guidelines 2011-1).

- Conclusion: "This is the first series, to our knowledge, that evaluates margin status in patients with PLCIS and documents recurrence. Recurrent PLCIS was identified at a rate similar to low- or intermediate-grade ductal carcinoma in situ. Therefore, known methods of local control, including surgical excision with negative margins (2 mm), may be the appropriate treatment in these patients."
