Abstract:Introduction: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) may occasionally spread widely in the duct-lobular segment, thereby complicating the complete resection of the lesion in breast-conserving surgery. In order to perform a safe operation for DCIS, the lesion area must be precisely evaluated in the preoperative imaging studies. We performed multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) for patients with DCIS and investigated the potential of MDCT for detecting DCIS lesions.Patients and methods: A total of 74 patients w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
