Mammography screening is a central strategy for the early detection of breast cancer, particularly among older women. While its efficacy is well-established in reducing late-stage diagnosis and mortality, evidence remains inconsistent regarding its benefits for women aged 75 and older. The absence of conclusive recommendations for this age group has...Read more

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histologic subtype of breast cancer, accounting for 5% to 15% of all cases. Unlike invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), ILC has an infiltrative growth pattern that makes detection challenging with traditional screening methods. Its lack of cell cohesion and tendency to grow in single-file...Read more
