Intraductal carcinoma in situ - what does this mean

Intraductal carcinoma in situ (dcis) is a pre-invasive form of breast cancer where abnormal cells are found in the lining of the milk ducts of the breast, but have not spread to the surrounding tissue. it is usually detected by a mammogram, but may also be found during a biopsy. dcis is considered a non-invasive form of breast cancer, but if left untreated, it can lead to invasive breast cancer.

What happens during the disease - intraductal carcinoma in situ

Intraductal carcinoma in situ is a pre-invasive form of breast cancer in which abnormal cells are present within the lining of the breast ducts but have not spread beyond them. it is believed to arise due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as a family history of breast cancer, exposure to certain hormones, and certain lifestyle factors. this can cause the cells to become abnormal and grow out of control, forming a mass within the ducts. in some cases, this can lead to the development of invasive breast cancer.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Mammogram
  • Ultrasound
  • Biopsy
  • MRI
  • CT Scan
  • PET Scan
  • Blood Test

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of cancer progressing to invasive cancer.
  • Surveillance including regular mammograms and clinical breast exams.
  • Cryoablation, which involves freezing the abnormal cells.
  • Radiofrequency ablation, which involves delivering a high frequency electrical current to the abnormal cells.
  • Lumpectomy, which involves surgically removing the abnormal cells.
  • Mastectomy, which involves surgically removing the entire breast.
  • Hormone therapy, which involves taking medications to reduce the risk of cancer progression.
  • Chemotherapy, which involves taking medications to kill cancer cells.
  • Radiation therapy, which involves using high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells.

Intraductal carcinoma in situ - Prevention

Intraductal carcinoma in situ can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly. additionally, regular breast self-exams and mammograms can help detect any changes in the breast tissue that may indicate the presence of this disease.
