Lobular Carcinoma in Situ - Treatments

Management of Lobular Carcinoma in Situ includes:

Close observation e.g. clinical breast examinations, annual mammograms or MRI of the breasts.
Chemoprevention, which is taking medication to reduce the risk of cancer. These drugs may include Tamoxifen or Raloxifene for 5 years.
Surgery, where preventive or prophylactic mastectomy may be considered if there is a high risk based on a strong family history of breast cancer or if there is a BRCA gene mutation.
