Gail I think you are all confused on your ductals and lobulars. Ductal most common. Lobulars less common.

Lobular carcinomas make up approximately 5% to 10% of all invasive breast cancers. Lobular breast cancer is more difficult to detect by mammography because it may not occur as a distinct lump. Instead, lobular carcinoma may appear as an irregular thickening in the breast. A small proportion of women (~5%) may develop lobular carcinoma in both breasts. agf

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
