Our Purpose
At LBCUK we work to save more lives by unlocking the challenge that is lobular breast cancer.
Lobular is a challenge because we need to:
- Increase the knowledge and understanding of lobular breast cancer amongst patients, the public, clinicians, researchers and health professionals;
- Get more people diagnosed quickly and effectively;
- Ensure that people diagnosed with lobular breast cancer
receive the right support and information; - Get treatments that are specific to and more effective for lobular
breast cancer as a distinct disease; - Get more appropriate long term monitoring of people following
diagnosis.
