Treatment Options for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ

Surgery for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ

  • Patients with high-grade DCIS who are at the highest risk for developing invasive cancer

  • Patients with clinical symptoms of DCIS such as a palpable breast mass

  • Patients with DCIS who require a mastectomy since this procedure cannot be performed after a mastectomy in the event that the tumor has spread to the lymph nodes.
