## Abstract Detection of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in bone marrow is an independent prognostic factor in primary breast cancer. Here, we conducted a proofβofβprinciple study to evaluate whether this tumor cell spread occurs already in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). After preop

Background. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the male breast is an uncommon disease, accounting for approximately 7% of all male breast carcinomas. Compared with invasive carcinomas of the breast, the prognosis associated with DCIS in men is excellent; however, clinical features, pathology, and tr
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) now accounts for 20-30% of all newly diagnosed breast cancers in centers which use mammographic surveillance as a standard part of the examination. The majority of these DCIS lesions, at least in the United States, are of very limited size, with mean estimated extents
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was a relatively uncommon disease process when we relied on palpation to detect breast lesions. With the advent of more widespread mammography screenings, the surgeon is faced with a welcome opportunity to prevent cancer by dealing with a precursor lesion. Discovering
