A component of lobular carcinoma in clinically lymph node–negative patients predicts for an increased likelihood of upstaging to pathologic stage III breast cancer

Purpose: Physical examination and diagnostic imaging are often less precise in determining the extent of disease in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) relative to nonlobular histologies.
