Julian joins Lobular Moon Shot Project
February 12, 2024
Julian has joined over one-hundred Members of Parliament backing the Lobular Moon Shot Project to improve research funding into lobular breast cancer.
Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer (ILC) is the 2nd most common type of breast cancer. 3.75 million people will be diagnosed with this cancer in the next 10 years, yet ILC currently has no specific treatment and behaves very differently to the more common type of breast cancer – ductal. That is over 1000 people a day (22 a day in the UK) being diagnosed with ILC.
Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, believe with more funding specifically for lobular breast cancer research, they could fully understand the biology of ILC. This would be a vital next step to getting the specific treatment needed for ILC to improve outcomes.
