Abstract:
To explore the new trends of incidence and treatment patterns of DCIS of the breast. Methods: 479 patients with DCIS of the breast, who were diagnosed and treated between 1982 and 1995, formed the population for this study. Retrospective study has been done via charts review. Results: The percentage of DCIS of the breast of all the breast cancer patients has steadily increased from 3.3% in 1982 to 17.35% in 1995. The upward trends are observed in all age groups above 40 years, but chiefly in the age group of 40-49 years, whose rates is higher than those of other age groups. Trends in management of DCIS patients include a decreasing reliance on mastectomy (from 100% to 21.95%) and increasing utilization of excision with or without irradiation (from 0% to 78.05%). Conclusion: In the last two decades, DCIS of the breast represents an increasing percentage of all breast cancer diagnoses. The percentage of DCIS of the breast had been steadily increasing between 1982 and 1995. The trend suggests a slightly younger patient population as compared with our entire breast cancer population. Mostly the conserving surgery with radiation therapy is the first choice for DCIS of the breast.
