Ductal Carcinoma in Situ of the Breast

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1997
The increasing incidence and biological heterogeneity of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast have made the management of this entity challenging and controversial. This paper reviews data on the natural history of the disease and results obtained with various management approaches.Computerized MEDLINE search of articles related to DCIS ...

Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (Intraductal Carcinoma) of the Breast

New England Journal of Medicine, 1988
IN 1932, Broders defined carcinoma in situ as "a condition in which malignant epithelial cells and their progeny are found in or near positions occupied by their ancestors before the ancestors underwent malignant transformation."1 In the breast, carcinoma in situ has been categorized traditionally as either lobular or ductal, depending on the cytologic

The pathology of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast

Clinical Oncology, 1995
still the appropriate treatment for DCIS. Since this represents an earlier stage of the disease than invasive cancer it seems logical that at least some patients with DCIS should be amenable to treatment with conservation therapy. Evidence is now emerging that DCIS is a heterogeneous entity, both morphologically and biologically.

A case of endocrine ductal carcinoma of the breast

Breast Cancer, 2001
A case of endocrine ductal carcinoma of the breast is presented. A 65-year-old woman was admitted with complaints of left breast mass and pain. Physical examination, mammography, ultrasonography, and computed tomography showed a mass 5 cm in diameter in the left breast suggestive of breast cancer, and incisional biopsy confirmed ductal carcinoma ...

Management of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1993
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is thought to represent a number of biologically different processes, ranging in clinical presentation from a palpable mass to a mammographically-detected abnormality. The optimal management of DCIS is controversial.

The management of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast

Clinical Oncology, 1990
The National Programme for three-yearly breast screening of all women between the ages of 50 and 64 years is now in progress. This is an exciting response by the Government to the Forrest Report in the hope that it will prevent some deaths from breast cancer. Even if this expectation is realized, it will not be evident for many years.

The treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2002
As screening mammography has become more frequently used to screen asvmptomatic women, the diagnosis of ductal carcrinoma in situ (DCIS) has become commonplace. Its treatment remains contentious, ranging from mastectomy to local excision alone. The goal of treatment for DCIS is breast conservation, however, as many as 25% of women with this diagnosis ...

Management of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast

JAMA Oncology, 2016
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast represents a disease process that continues to increase in incidence with treatment paradigms that continue to evolve. Greater access to long-term data from large observational studies addressing the natural history of the disease has contributed to changes in treatment paradigms and put into question ...

Treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1991
AbstractDuctal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is increasing in frequency, primarily because of the increasing use of routine screening mammography. The management of DCIS has become one of the more controversial aspects in the treatment of breast cancer. Although total mastectomy provides local control and long‐term survival approaching 100%, the move to ...

Ductal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast

JAMA, 1996
Understanding ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast has lagged behind our understanding of other elements of breast cancer. 1 Indeed, from its first description in the 1930s up through the 1950s, 2,3 reported cases were palpable and were not strictly "noninvasive" as a diagnosis of DCIS now requires.
