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

โฆ Synopsis
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 this once uncommon lesion more frequently, however, has led to additional management questions and problems for the surgeon. We are very pleased to present these two thought-provoking guest editorials on this timely topic by two well-recognized experts on breast cancer management.
