Dear Zaraza:  This means that the invasive cancer is lobular in type.  The entire tumor size is 1.5 cm.  25% of the specimen is ductal carcinomal in situ (The grade and pattern describe the way the cells are growing and how they look on the slide).  On this report, I see no reference to the size of the invasive part of the cancer or the hormonal status of this tumor.  You may wish to clarify with your physician.
