Abstract P5-17-06: Prognostic value of method of detection in primary pure DCIS

ConclusionWomen with primary pure DCIS detected through the Dutch screening program had lower risk of subsequent ipsilateral invasive breast cancer, irrespective of DCIS treatment, compared to women whose DCIS was not detected within the national screening program. However, the magnitude of this risk difference does not warrant a different treatment strategy of screen-detected DCIS as compared to non-screen-detected DCIS. Having a screen-detected DCIS was not associated with risk of subsequent contralateral invasive breast cancer and all-cause mortality.Citation Format: Elshof LE, Schaapveld M, Schmidt MK, van Leeuwen FE, Rutgers EJTh, Wesseling J.
