(ECCO-the European CanCer Organisation) Women over 50 who have been treated for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a precursor of breast cancer, are more likely to be alive ten years later than women in the general population, according to new research presented at the European Cancer Congress 2017. Researchers say these results should provide reassurance to women who are diagnosed with the disease.
