Risk Factors for Invasive Breast Cancer When Core Needle Biopsy Shows Ductal Carcinoma In Situ

Abstract

The risk of upstaging can be estimated by using preoperative features in patients with DCIS on CNB. We propose a management algorithm that includes sentinel node biopsy for patients with DCIS who have microinvasion on CNB, palpable DCIS, 2 or more predictive factors, and planned total mastectomy.
