Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance Inc. (LBCA)
The Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance Inc. (LBCA) engages patients, clinicians, and researchers to increase knowledge of lobular breast disease and promote lobular breast cancer research. LBCA was founded by a national network of patient advocates with invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC), also known as lobular breast cancer. LBCA has a small professional staff that works with volunteers who are people with lobular breast cancer, their loved ones, and other individuals with an interest in breast cancer advocacy and research. LBCA is overseen by a Board of Directors and advised by an international Scientific Advisory Board of researchers and clinicians who focus on lobular breast cancer. Our Patient Advocate Advisory Board helps ensure the work of LBCA always includes and supports the patient voice. LBCA is a 501(c)3 public charity and is supported by generous donations from individuals affected by ILC, private foundations, and corporate sponsorships. If you would like more information about LBCA, about patient advocacy, or if you are a researcher interested in collaboration or seeking to work with a patient advocate, please contact us at info@lobularbreastcancer.org.
