Comparative Study
Treatment trends in early-stage invasive lobular carcinoma: a report from the National Cancer Data Base.
To examine treatment trends in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) over the last 15 years and, in particular, to compare rates of recurrence and disease-free survival associated with breast conservation therapy compared with mastectomy. ⋯ Less invasive treatment options are becoming widely used for invasive lobular carcinoma, yielding outcomes equivalent to those seen with more aggressive treatment.
