Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

DCIS: Treatment will be including surgical resection ( lumpectomy vs mastectomy). It will be followed with radiation therapy if lumpectomy is chosen. Then, anti estrogen therapy- ( for er+ dcis) - to decrease risk for recurrence and breast cancer development to the same breast and opposite breast. Discuss further with your oncologist.
