Is there a lobular breast cancer specialist at Mayo clinic in Rochester? Is there a medical oncologist you’re working with who appears to know lobular breast cancer? I am from Madison Wisconsin and have not been able to find a medical oncologist knowledgeable about lobular breast cancer . When I asked directly for lobular specialist, Mayo simply gives me their canned answer that all their doctors are equally skilled in all types of breast cancer. NO.
Any help or direction in finding a lobular specialist at Mayo clinic in Rochester. would be much much appreciated.

Otto Metzger at Dana Farber specializes in lobular. Maybe his office could refer you more locally. https://www.dana-farber.org/find-a-doctor/otto-metzger

I'm sharing a list of medical oncologists at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The fact that considerable breast cancer research is done at this teaching hospital makes it more likely the medical expertise you're looking for may also be found there. The doctors all benefit from the research being done as well as advances in treatment. You will notice each MD on the list has an Area of Focus. If no Area of Focus is listed, click on their name and check the left column for their Specialty Groups. You will also see their Biographical Summary of experience/expertise/research and the Conditions Treated. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/invasive-lobular-carcinoma/doctors-departments/ddc-20373980

Wishing you all the best!

Hi @noodle, Mayo Clinic, at all locations including Rochester, has experts specializing lobular breast cancer. You can submit a request to find out more here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

I'm also tagging fellow "lobsters" as Lisa says - members living with lobular breast cancer, like @lisakinpa @mtt @ssmab @jackiestack @ssmab @hollyng to share their experiences.

At Mayo Clinic, you have the advantage of a team of experts in lobular breast cancer not just a single physician.
