| lobular carcinoma in situ | definition: non-invasive adenocarcinoma made up of abnormal cells confined to the lobules of the breast (small end ducts that branch off the lobes in the breast) that seldom becomes invasive cancer. However, having lobular carcinoma in situ increases one's risk of developing either infiltrating lobular or ductal carcinoma. Diagnosis can be difficult and its treatment controversial, with some doctors recommending removal of one or both breasts and others recommeding regular followup without surgery. Lobular carcinoma in situ is less frequent than ductal carcinomas.
