Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance Inc. (LBCA)

The Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance (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).

LBCA’s small but growing professional staff include an executive director, a chief operating officer and volunteer coordinator, a development director, and a communications director. We utilize contractors and consultants to supplement our efforts. We also work 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 funded by generous donations from individuals who have been impacted by lobular breast cancer, grants and contributions from foundations and other 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organizations, and corporate sponsorship arrangements. LBCA is a 501(c)3 public charity. Donations to LBCA are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.
