Declining recurrence among ductal carcinoma in situ patients treated with breast-conserving surgery in the community setting

Abstract: IntroductionRandomized trials indicate that adjuvant radiotherapy plus tamoxifen decrease the five-year risk of recurrence among ductal carcinoma in situ patients treated with breast-conserving surgery from about 20% to 8%. The aims of this study were to examine the use and impact of these therapies on risk of recurrence among ductal carcinoma in situ patients diagnosed and treated in the community setting.MethodsWe identified 2,995 patients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ between 1990 and 2001 and tre… Show more

“…The overall mission of the CRN is “to increase the effectiveness of preventive, curative, and supportive interventions for major cancers through a program of collaborative research, and to determine the effectiveness of cancer control interventions that span the natural history of major cancers among diverse populations and health systems.”[25] Because CRN data are derived from integrated health delivery systems, the capture of events and procedures for covered patients is generally robust.…”

“…[25] The study design and data collection methods for the CRN DCIS cohort study have been described in detail elsewhere and are briefly summarized below. [26] Two of the three sites that participated in the DCIS cohort study collected additional data on SBC events (KPNC and HPHC). Our analysis only included patients from these two sites.…”

“…Numerous risk factors for recurrence have been identified, including age, 46, 15, 16 family history, 1719 clinical presentation, 4, 5, 20 number of excisions, 16 nuclear grade and necrosis, 2125 year of surgery, 16, 26 and margin status. 46, 16, 20, 24, 2729 Three prospective studies have successfully combined multiple factors to prospectively identify women at relatively low risk for recurrence after excision alone.…”

“…This phenomenon is supported by a study of DCIS cases in three health maintenance organizations within the Cancer Research Network [29]. Among cases treated with BCS, overall 5-year DFS improved from 81.5 % for cases diagnosed in 1990-1991 to 89 % in 1998-1999.…”
