Early-stage breast cancer
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a very early form of breast cancer confined to the milk ducts. Before the advent of mammography, DCIS was difficult to detect and was often missed entirely or diagnosed as benign. Now, it's more easily found and makes up a growing percentage of breast cancer cases. The good news is that the disease is at such an early stage (many experts even describe the condition as pre-cancerous) that most women can be successfully treated. The bad correlate, however, is that only about half of all DCIS progresses to invasive cancer, which means many women undergo unnecessary treatment. Researchers know now that DCIS ranges in aggressiveness from low to high. Women with big lesions of high-grade DCIS usually are treated with mastectomy to prevent invasive cancer. But less is known about what happens to small lesions of low-grade DCIS if they are left untreated.
