Background:
We report local recurrence (LR) after breast-conserving surgery and radiation (BCS + RT) for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to determine outcomes for patients aged
Methods:
The study included 440 women with DCIS treated from 1978 to 2007. All patients received whole-breast radiotherapy with a boost in 95% of cases. Demographics, characteristics, surgical, and adjuvant treatments were analyzed for an effect on LR.
Results:
Median age was 56.5 years with 24 patients aged
Conclusions:
The long-term risk of LR after BCS + RT for DCIS is low, even in patients
