Ductal Carcinoma in Situ: Clinical Perspective.
Ductal carcinoma is situ (DCIS) is the fastest growing subtype of breast cancer, mainly because of improved screening activities. In contrast to invasive disease, DCIS is a local process with excellent survival rates. Current treatment strategies include surgery, radiotherapy (RT) and anti-hormonal treatment. The selection of an individual risk-adapted therapeutic approach remains controversial...
متن کاملDuctal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast: A Surgical Perspective
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is a heterogeneous neoplasm with invasive potential. Risk factors include age, family history, hormone replacement therapy, genetic mutation, and patient lifestyle. The incidence of DCIS has increased due to more widespread use of screening and diagnostic mammography; almost 80% of cases are diagnosed with imaging with final diagnosis established by...
متن کاملProgression of Ductal Carcinoma in Situ from the Pathological Perspective.
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) now represents up to 20% of breast cancer cases, yet its behaviour is still poorly understood. Morphological classifications go some way to predicting prognosis, but more sophisticated approaches are required to better tailor therapy to the individual. A number of biological molecules have been identified that appear to relate to prognosis and, in model systems, ...
متن کاملDuctal carcinoma in situ.
Management of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has evolved from radical surgery to the option of a more minimally invasive approach. Data show that breast conservation surgery performed with administration of radiotherapy, like mastectomy, is feasible and safe. Because efforts to find a safe group for elimination of radiotherapy have resulted in data that conflict, radiotherapy still remains sta...
متن کاملBreast Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is becoming one of the most important diseases diagnosed in preventive medicine screening. The current age-adjusted incidence rate of DCIS is 32.5 per 100,000 women. For women 50–64 years of age, the incidence is approximately 88 per 100,000. Currently, for every 4 diagnoses of invasive breast cancer, there is 1 diagnosis of DCIS. Risk of DCIS is ra...
