Prospective study of non-infiltrating carcinoma of the breast

Abstract: A long-term prospective study of non-infiltrating breast carcinoma is being carried out in order to study the natural history and proper management of such lesions with particular interest in patients treated solely by local excision.During an 11-year period, 175 patients with lobular Ca in situ and intraductal Ca have been followed. None has developed recurrent disease including 18 undergoing wide local excision only. Histologic examination revealed that 36% of mastectomy specimens showed multifocal lesions, … Show more

“…Second, the removal of occult invasive disease at foci in other breast quadrants. This is estimated as occurring in 6-21% of breasts after excision of DCIS (Brown et al, 1976;Lagios et al, 1982;Rosen et al, 1979). Finally, mastectomy should prevent local recurrence or invasive disease arising from residual DCIS after local excision.…”

“…Theoretical arguments in favour of this approach include eradication of multicentric foci of DCIS, eradication of occult invasive foci in other breast quadrants and prevention of local recurrence from residual DCIS. Success following mastectomy for DCIS is demonstrated by local recurrence rates at 5 years of between 0 and 9.2% (Ashikari et al, 1971(Ashikari et al, , 1977Sunshine et al, 1985;Farrow, 1970;Westbrook & Gallager, 1975) and survival rates of 95% at 10 years (Sunshine et al, 1985).…”

“…The only situation where axillary lymphadenectomy is not currently indicated is the presence of breast ductal carcinoma in situ, although it has a risk of axillary metastases from 0.9 to 3.8%, according to several authors 17,18 . Another subgroup with low potential of axillary metastases is microinvasive carcinoma.…”

“…[17][18][19] However, mastectomy has been viewed by some clinicians as a prophylactic treatment because it is used to prevent the development of an invasive breast cancer. With the increasing use of breast-conserving treatment for patients with invasive breast carcinoma, the routine use of mastectomy for patients with DCIS has been questioned, particularly for small, lowgrade lesions.…”
