Outcomes of Screening-Detected Ductal Carcinoma In Situ Treated with Wide Excision Alone

Abstract: Breast cancer specific mortality was very low in this cohort of older patients with screen-detected DCIS. There was a moderate rate of local recurrence that could usually be salvaged with breast conservation. Decisions regarding adjuvant radiotherapy should take these findings into account.

“…DCIS cases (n = 48) were ascertained from a population-based mammographic screening cohort with clinical follow-up available 15 (Table 1, Supplementary Table S1). All cases were treated by surgical wide excision only and were selected to enrich for high-grade cases (77% of cases compared with 58% in the full cohort 15 ).…”

“…Finally, we have entered an era of increasing awareness among women and diagnosis of smaller tumors is more often reported. Outcome of screening-detected DCIS treated with excision alone may be more favourable, and although recurrence rates of 15% at 5 years are reported, these are often successfully salvaged with breast conservation, with overall breast-specific survival of 99% [25]. …”

“…Overall, however, women with DCIS have a very favorable prognosis and a diagnosis of DCIS is not likely to affect a woman's survival. Furthermore, there has been concern about the overtreatment of DCIS, particularly small lesions that might not have ever become clinically evident 17. Thus, addressing the problem of suboptimal communication and the potential for poor‐quality decision‐making and psychosocial outcomes is of great clinical importance.…”
