DCIS Breast Cancer

In this article, Dr. Levine answers a patient's question, "What Does DCIS Breast Cancer Reconstruction Entail?" DCIS or ductal carcinoma in situ is a type of breast cancer which has not passed through the basement membrane of the duct. It is considered to be an early-stage cancer because theoretically it has not spread to other parts of the breast or other parts of the body. Despite its early stage, it could still be dangerous, and it may be recommended that the patient undergo mastectomy.
