Current management of lobular in situ neoplasia

Although the term of lobular neoplasia was first proposed in 1978 and the term Lobular In situ Neoplasia (LIN) has been incorporated in the current World Health Organisation (WHO) classification to cover both atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), the clinical significance and the natural history of lobular neoplasia is far from being fully understood. Furthermore problems and confusion still remain surrounding 1) the most appropriate terminology and classification for these lesions, 2) the best course of long-term management after diagnosis. This article summarizes the opinions on LCIS management of a group of Belgian experts.
