In situ-types can constitute as little as 5% of incidence in lack of screening.

context_page_description: Invasive lobular carcinoma is breast cancer arising from the lobules of the mammary glands. It accounts for 5-10% of invasive breast cancer.
  The histologic patterns include:
  Overall, the five-year survival rate of invasive lobular carcinoma was approximately 85% in 2003.
  Loss of E-cadherin is common in lobular carcinoma but is also seen in other breast cancers.
  Treatment includes surgery and adjuvant therapy.
