This study looked at genetic changes that may increase the risk of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) or invasive lobular breast cancer. This trial was supported by Cancer Research UK.
LCIS is not cancer but means that there are changes to some of the cells in the breast. Having LCIS increases your risk of getting breast cancer in the future.
In this study, the researchers looked at genetic changes in a large number of women who had been diagnosed with LCIS or a type of breast cancer called invasive lobular breast cancer. They hoped to find out more about the genetic causes.
The aim of the study was to identify genetic changes that may increase the risk of LCIS or invasive lobular breast cancer.
