Laurna Quirke is one of our Lobular Ireland Group.Last Tuesday Laurna, her husband Gary and their family joined with Women from all over Ireland when we brought our concerns and our National #TellMeMyBreastDensity Campaign to Leinster House with @BreastDense
A Cork woman diagnosed with Breast cancer after two clear mammograms is pleading with the Government for an urgent overhaul of how breast cancer is diagnosed and screened.
Laurna Quirke, says her illness was not detected because she has dense breast tissue, something which affects 43% of women, meaning mammograms are not as effective at spotting cancer.

Thank you @irishexaminer
for shining a light on this
@HSE #BreastCheck has been kicking #BreastDensity reporting down the road for more than a decade and putting Women’s lives at risk by withholding clinically relevant information

MRI is Critical for Lobular growth pattern
ILC lacks the protein E-cadherin, causing cancer cells to spread diffusely through fatty tissue without creating a defined lump, making it notoriously "invisible" or subtle on standard mammograms/sometimes Ultrasound

Our nationwide 🇧🇪 study of >51000 pts with stage I–III breast cancer (>7500 ILC) is now published in @ESMO_Open
ILC had ⬆️ stage at Dx and a distinct time-dependent prognostic pattern, with worse long-term outcomes as nodal burden increased

Mammography, incl digital tomosynthesis, can drop as low as 10% to 30% in dense breast tissue.8,11–13 Usound is a valuable supplementary tool, demonstrating improved sensitivity, evaluation of dense tissue and palpable abnormalities.

Thank you Laurna. Your story matters to all Women and their #BreastcancerScreening
After 2 clear Mammograms Laurna's 12x8 cm Lobular Breast Cancer Tumour had previously gone 'Unseen' slowly growing in her #DenseBreast Tissue
Ireland #TellMeMyBreastDensity
Women in Ireland are sharing their lived experience.
Laurna's words really resonate with so many.
Breast Density is not just a technical feature of imaging.
ALL Women should be notified about their Personal #BreastDensity

For #InternationalWomensDay we are celebrating the Women and Families of Lobular Breast Cancer Ireland. Every year @ 400 Women in Ireland are told that they have Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC). We're raising awareness of this unique histological subtype.
