How Should We Treat Ductal Carcinoma In Situ?

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

The management of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is among the most controversial topics in the field of breast cancer. In the past, DCIS was an uncommon lesion that usually presented as a palpable mass. With the advent of Screening mammography the incidence of DCIS has increased markedly. The success of breast-conserving treatment for invasive carcinomas (National Institutes of Health 1991) has also led to increased interest in avoiding mastectomy in patients with noninvasive cancers. However, the traditional therapy of DCIS has been mastectomy.
