Breast cancer is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects millions of women each year. One of the most common types of breast cancer is Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). DCIS is a non-invasive cancer that is found in the cells that line the ducts of the breast.
DCIS is the most common form of non-invasive breast cancer. It is a condition in which abnormal cells are found in the lining of the milk ducts in the breast. These cells have the potential to become invasive cancer if left untreated.
DCIS usually does not cause any symptoms. The abnormal cells are usually found during a mammogram, which is why it is important to get regular screenings.
If abnormal cells are found during a mammogram, your doctor may order additional tests to confirm the diagnosis. These tests may include a breast biopsy, ultrasound, or MRI.
Treatment for DCIS may include surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or chemotherapy. The type of treatment will depend on factors such as the size and location of the tumor, as well as the patient’s age and overall health.
