Advocating for Invasive Lobular Cancer Research


When you’re a physician with cancer, it’s hard to resist the urge to advocate for the forces of medicine to come together to cure your particular type of cancer. 


It feels good to advocate for better detection, better research, and better treatment for ILC. Thank you so much to BCCRF for the micro grant that is supporting my efforts, along with the Sikora Lab at CU Anschutz.

We are hosting an in person event on 6/1 at the CU Anschutz Campus on ILC, featuring patient experience, clinical treatments, and advances in basic science and research. It is the first of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region, and we are hoping to bring awareness and raise support for the researchers focused on this disease.
