Comparative Effectiveness of Surgical Options for Patients with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: An Instrumental Variable Approach.

CONCLUSION: No significant benefit was observed with a more aggressive surgical procedure in preventing DCIS recurrence or cancer progression in a diverse population. Many patients with DCIS could benefit from BCS with preservation of their body image. Breast conservation followed-up with cancer surveillance is a rational approach to ensure affordable, effective care for patients with DCIS. PMID: 30028673 [PubMed - in process]
