Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a significant challenge in the field of breast cancer management, representing a complex and nuanced condition that has undergone increased scrutiny in recent years. At Alfa Cytology, our team of experienced biologists work with you to develop DCIS therapeutics.

Introduction to Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)

DCIS is a non-invasive form of breast cancer, where abnormal cells have been detected within the milk ducts of the breast, but have not yet penetrated the surrounding tissue. With the increased detection capabilities of modern screening techniques, DCIS now accounts for 20-25% of all breast cancer cases.

Therapeutic Development for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)

The primary goal of DCIS treatment is to prevent the development of invasive breast cancer, which can have more severe consequences. Without pr oper intervention, a significant proportion of DCIS lesions will progress to become invasive, increasing the risk of metastatic spread and potentially life-threatening outcomes. By implementing appropriate treatment strategies, such as surgery, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies, healthcare providers can effectively reduce the likelihood of DCIS progression.
