This book provides up-to-date information on all aspects of ductal
carcinoma in situ of the breast, including epidemiology, imaging,
pathologic and biologic features, interventional diagnostics,
nonpalpable lesion localization, and treatment. Surgical procedures
are described in detail, covering breast conservation techniques,
conservative mastectomies, breast reconstruction options, and
axillary surgery. Guidance is provided on how to ensure adequacy of
surgical excision and avoid local recurrence when performing breast
conservation surgery and how to minimize morbidity from axillary
surgery. The role and techniques of partial and whole breast
irradiation are described, and the use of adjuvant systemic therapy
options, including endocrine therapy and chemotherapy, is
explained. A concluding chapter addresses the issue of
recurrence and its current management. This book, designed for ease
of consultation, will be of value for all involved in the
multidisciplinary care of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ of
the breast, including surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists,
radiologists, and radiotherapists.
