  • Title: [In situ ductal carcinoma of the breast].
    Author: Peña-Estévez VL, Aguilar U, Torrescano Granillo A.
    Journal: Ginecol Obstet Mex; 1999 Feb; 67():43-9. PubMed ID: 10327763.
    Abstract:
    Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is an early, localized stage of breast cancer. The diagnosis of DCIS has increased due to the use on a large scale of mammography. The majority of these tumors are detected on the mammography by microcalcifications. It is very important to establish a new pathologic classification. The management is one of the most controversial part in the treatment of breast cancer; for several decades total mastectomy was considered the appropriate treatment. Conservative treatment is based on the surgical excision of the tumor plus irradiation of the remaining breast. Has an excellent prognosis when properly treated.
