  1. DUCTAL CARCINOMA INSITU OF YOUR BREAST By Dr. Murali Subramanian

  2. The ductal carcinoma in situ is a non- trespassing breast cancer. This position basically is a non-trespassing Breast cancer. This cancer usually begins in the milk ducts, the meaning of carcinoma is any cancer that begins in the other tissues or skin and covers up all the internal organs. This cancer is named non- trespassing because this does not spread beyond the milk ducts into any of the normal surrounding tissues of the breast. This is cancer is not that dangerous because it is not a life- threatening disease. But if you have DCIS it has the chances to develop the trespassing breast cancer as you grow.

  3. Women who are with the breast conserving survey related to on the problem of DCIS. Without having radiation therapies it has 25 to 30 percentage of chances of having a reappearance of this at some or the other point in their life. If they have the inclusion of radiation therapy in their treatment the amount of reappearance drops to 15 percentages. Here you can learn about what extra steps can be taken to avoid or at least lower the rick of yours in this new breast cancer diagnosis. If you do not go across breast cancer after your last DCIS treatment then it can be named as a non- trespassing breast cancer.

  4. According to the American Cancer Society, about 60,000 cases of DCIS are diagnosed in the United States each year, accounting for about 1 out of every 5 new breast cancer cases. There are two main reasons for this number is so large and has been increasing over time: People are living with longer lives and the risk of cancer increases with age More people are getting mammograms, and the quality of the mammograms has been improved. With better screening, most of the cancers are being spotted early.

  5. Signs and Symptoms of DCIS DCIS most probably has no symptoms. A very few numbers of people can have a lump in their breast or some excrete coming out of there dug as a symptom. As it has been stated by the national cancer institute throughout 80 percent of these kinds of cases can be found by going on a mammography.

  6. Diagnosis of DCIS: Diagnosing DCIS usually involves a combination of procedures: • Breast Physical examination • Mammography • Biopsy Fine needle aspiration biopsy Core needle biopsy Incisional biopsy Excisional biopsy To find out about the diagnosis there is blood test done for everyone. Further surgery is needed to make sure all the cancer is removed from the body along with clear margins.

  7. This means that the borders of the healthy tissues which are around the cancer are also removed. Normally the meaning of this is to have a lump or even in some cases having an excision. After the biopsy, the pathologist analyzes the piece of breast tissue and reports back on the: Type and grade of the DCIS Hormone-receptor status

  8. i. Type and grade of DCIS All the DCIS are considered the 0-breast cancer which is the earliest stage possible. Stage is usually a way to tell how far the cancer has reached through your body. When a pathologist takes a look at your body tissues which are removed they dictate that any abnormal cells are present or not. If they are present then they try to find the difference between abnormal as well as the normal breast cells. There are usually 3 grades or ways of checking your DCIS. Knowledge about DCIS type and grade usually help doctor to decide on the best treatment plan.

  9. With the help of biopsy, it can be determined whether any abnormal cells are present or not. If abnormal cells are present, the pathologist will note how different the cells look compared with normal, healthy breast cells. The image shows the range of possible findings, from normal cells all the way to invasive ductal cancer. Normal cells Ductal hyperplasia or "overgrowth" means that too many cells are present. Atypical ductal hyperplasia means that there are too many cells (hyperplasia) and they are starting to take on an abnormal appearance (atypical or "not typical").

  10. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) means that there are too many cells and they have the features of cancer, but they are still confined to the inside of the duct. (DCIS is stage 0 breast cancer.) DCIS-MI (DCIS with microinvasion) means that a few of the cancer cells have started to break through the wall of the duct. DCIS-MI is stage I breast cancer. Invasive ductal cancer (IDC) means that the cancer cells have broken beyond the breast duct. The breast cancer is no longer a DCIS but an invasive ductal carcinoma, the most common type of breast cancer. IDC can be diagnosed at any stage from I-IV.

  11. There are three grades of DCIS: low or grade I; moderate or grade II; and high or grade III. The lower the grade, the more closely the cancer cells resemble normal breast cells and the more slowly they grow. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out where the cells are on in the range from normal to abnormal. If the cells are in between grades, they may be called "borderline." Grade 1 or low level & Grade 2 or moderate level Grade I or low-grade DCIS cells look very similar to normal cells or atypical ductal hyperplasia cells. Grade II or moderate- grade DCIS cells grow faster than normal cells and look less like them.

  12. Grade I and grade II DCIS tend to grow slowly and are sometimes described as "non- comedo" DCIS. The word or term non-comedogenic usually means that the amount of cancer cell is not much malignancy cells. This shows the day to day increasing cancer as there is enough nourishment in your body for feeding the cells. There are cases in which cancer grows quickly which results in the cells to die. This is what happens in grade 1 and grade 2. There are different patterns of low-grade and moderate-grade DCIS:

  13. • Papillary DCIS The cancer cells are in the form of finger-like pattern within the ducts.

  14. • Cribriform DCIS Usually there are gaps between cancer cells in the affected breast ducts.

  15. • Solid DCIS The affected breast ducts are completely filled with Cancer cells.

  16. Grade 3 or the high grade of DCIS When it comes to the pattern of high grade, the DCIS cells incline to grow more faster and after some time they grow and look much more different from any other normal breast cells. People who are suffering from high grade have much higher risk of trespassing of the cancer. People like this also are with higher risk of getting back cancer faster within the 5 years of time where it must come after the 5 years of time.

  17. ii) Hormone-receptor status Hormone receptors test determines for receptors for the estrogen and progesterone.

  18. Treatment for DCIS: Standard treatment options for DCIS include: Lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy: This is the most common treatment for DCIS. Lumpectomy is sometimes called breast- conserving treatment because most of the breast is saved. Mastectomy: Mastectomy, or removal of the breast, is recommended in some cases. Lumpectomy alone

  19. Hormonal therapy after surgery: These treatments, which block or lower the amount of estrogen in the body, are typically used if the DCIS tests positive for hormone receptors. Chemotherapy, a form of treatment that sends anti- cancer medications throughout the body, is generally not needed for DCIS. DCIS is non-invasive and remains within the breast duct, so there is no need to treat cancer cells that might have traveled to other areas of the body.

  20. Follow-Up Care for DCIS: A proper follow up plan is required to be designed after surgery and radiation therapy. A patient require series if visit to hospital if they have undergone mastectomy and are undergoing breast reconstruction If a patient is on tamoxifen (Hormonal therapy) is usually for a long duration may be above 5 years the patient need to in observation and has to visit hospital again and again for a proper monitoring

  21. Follow up plan depend on person treatment, but the most common plan include: • For the first 5 years a patient need to visit doctor for every 6 to 12 months (checkup and physical exam) and then once a year after that • A mammogram test every 12 months
