devoinaz I had a similar experience - dense breasts, IDC/ILC/DCIS/LCIS, lumpectomy with SLNB (only 7 nodes haha). There was some possible DCIS near the surgical margin, and my post-surgery mammogram showed more suspicious calcifications. For those and other reasons I decided to have a bilateral mastectomy. It was a painful decision!

Generally large areas of DCIS are more likely to be high grade but a small area of DCIS can be high grade too. The grade is based on how closely the DCIS cells resemble normal cells. In high grade DCIS, the "DCIS cells tend to grow more quickly and look much different from normal, healthy breast cells.

I was first diagnosed with high-grade DCIS in 2007. Treatment was lumpectomy, radiation, and 5 years of tamoxifen. My oncologists (med & rad) recommended yearly mammograms and MRIs, 6 months apart. The following year, they found LCIS and ALH. The LCIS was excised, nothing further was found.

2020年10月23日 · Staging is based only on the size of the IDC. DCIS - no matter how much you have - doesn't count towards staging. Pure DCIS, with no associated IDC, is always Stage 0, whatever the size of the DCIS. But once you have IDC, even just 1mm, it's Stage I (or higher). Because most IDC develops from DCIS, it's very common to find them together.

I'm new here, two weeks post-surgery, 47 years old, and confused about a change in diagnosis after surgery My original DX in December was 2.1cm stage 2 IDC + DCIS in the left breast. I had a tumor biopsy and a lymph node biopsy on the left, an MRI on both sides, and an MRI-guided biopsy for a lump on the right (that turned out to be a benign ...

In a meta-analysis of published series that included 389 women with LCIS who were followed for a mean of 10.9 years, breast cancer-specific mortality was 2.8 percent among women who had initial excision followed by surveillance and mastectomy for recurrence; this value was not statistically significantly different from the 0.9 percent disease ...

Hello to anyone, I started a blog to chronicle my journey from being diagnosed with LCIS and my upcoming preventative bi-lateral mastectomy if anyone is interested in following along with me. It helps for me to write about this process and I may be in a position to answer any questions you may have if you are considering this option. Everyone has different opinions on what road to …

Statistically DCIS recurs 20% of the time and of these recurrences 50% are DCIS and 50% are invasive.Tamoxifen decreases the rate of recurrence but does not increase survival. They are hoping to be able to determine when DCIS leads to IDC to guide treatment but aren’t there yet.

If DCIS (ductal in-situ, i.e. non-invasive) and IDC (invasive ductal) together in the same tumor was to be classified as "Mixed Type" (or ILC and LCIS) then the vast majority of cancers would be"Mixed Type".
