Recruitment's underway for a new clinical trial - looking to tackle a challenging type of cancer
15 December 2024
The Breast Cancer Foundation's funding a four-year trial for people with lobular breast cancer.
It's aiming to increase survival rates and quality of life for patients, by using a new technology to more accurately diagnose it.
Chief executive Ah-Leen Rayner says lobular cancer is elusive and people with it are more likely to get the wrong treatment.
She says rather than growing as a lump like normal, lobular grows as long single layers - making it harder to detect, diagnose and treat.
