Treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ after excision: would a prophylactic paradigm be more appropriate?
Corresponding to the increased use of mammography, the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has risen dramatically in the past 30 years. Despite its growing incidence, the treatment of DCIS remains highly variable and controversial. Although DCIS itself does not metastasize and is never lethal, it may be a precursor of invasive breast cancer and is a marker of increased breast cancer ri...
متن کاملReframing treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ: could less be more?
In a typical breast surgery practice, nearly one-fifth of new patients present with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), usually detected on mammography as an incidental finding. Most of these women are otherwise healthy, take care of themselves, have had a mammogram as part of their routine health maintenance, and are now grappling with a “cancer” diagnosis. When explaining to patients that DCIS g...
متن کاملResidual tumor after primary excision of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), on re-excision specimens.
The management of pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) involves local excision, with or without consecutive radiotherapy, or simple mastectomy. Assessment of the recurrence risk is the essential step in decision-making. The hypothesis of this study was that besides the apparition of true recurrences after prior complete excision there may be also cases with residual disease present distant from...
متن کاملTamoxifen Initiation After Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
BACKGROUND Endocrine therapy initiation after ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is highly variable and largely unexplained. National guidelines recommend considering tamoxifen for women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) DCIS or who undergo excision alone. We evaluated endocrine therapy use after DCIS over a 15-year period in an integrated health care setting to identify factors related to ini...
متن کاملMicro-pixe analysis in invasive ductal carcinoma tissues after treatment of astaxanthin
Background: Trace elements play an important role in a number of biological processes. Astaxanthin (ASX), a carotoid pigment found in certain marine plant and animals, has shown anti cancer and anti free radical properties. This work intended to understand the effect of Astaxanthin in breast cancer (invasive ductal carcinoma, IDC) by using micro-pixe method. For this aim the concentratio...
