Is it possible for breast high grade ductal carcinoma insitu (dcis) to spread to the major organs ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, though rare. : We know that a very small % of pts with high-grade dcis will have lymph node involvement, of which a smaller % can develop distant (metastatic) disease.
