Abstract:
Purpose:To study the appropriate surgical treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast ( DCIS ).Methods:16 patients with DCIS treated between Jan 1994 and Dec 2003 were evaluated. All patients underwent lumpectomy and intraoperative frozen section evaluation. The median age was 43 years ( range 30 to 84 ) and the median pathologic size of DCIS was 2.0cm ( range 0.3 to 4cm ). 2 of these 16 patients had Halsted radical mastectomy, 11 had modified radical mastectomy, 2 had simple mastectomy and 1 had breast-conserving surgery ( quadrant excision plus axillary lymph node dissection ). As postoperative treatment, 3 patients received radiotherapy, 8 received chemotherapy and 10 had endocrine therapy.Results:2 patients were found to have axillary micrometastases. The median follow-up time was 62(6~114)months. All patients survived without recurrence. Only one patient was found to have metastasis in hipbone 4 years after operation.Conclusions:Lumpectomy or wider excision plus postoperative radiotherapy is feasible for most patients with DCIS.[
