Conservative surgery for infiltrating lobular breast carcinoma

Background Some reports state that infiltrating lobular breast carcinoma (ILC) should not be treated by conservative methods because of a high risk of local recurrence. The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with conservatively treated ILC have a higher risk of intrabreast relapse than those with infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC).
