Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive breast cancer characterized by malignant epithelial cells within mammary ducts.
  • The advent of screening mammography has significantly altered the detection rates and types of DCIS diagnosed.
  • Historical definitions and terminology for DCIS have presented challenges in consistent classification.

Observation:

  • DCIS exhibits significant biological and morphological heterogeneity.
  • Malignant cells are confined within the ductal system, without breaching the basement membrane into the stroma.
  • Screening mammography has led to increased detection of DCIS, impacting clinical management.

Findings:

  • This review provides a historical perspective on DCIS histopathology.

  • It aims to clarify the evolution of understanding DCIS morphology and classification.
  • The heterogeneity of DCIS is a key characteristic influencing its study and treatment.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate histopathological classification is crucial for understanding DCIS behavior.
    • Standardized terminology improves communication and research in breast cancer pathology.
    • A historical overview aids in appreciating the advancements in DCIS diagnosis and management.
