Abstract:
The approach to these lesions is being reexamined in light of results with conservative surgery for invasive breast cancers. According to available data, the invasive potential of in situ lesions varies. Mammographic and pathologic findings may differentiate patients who will benefit from lumpectomy (with or without radiotherapy) from those requiring mastectomy.
