Mortality of women with ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast: a population-based study from the Girona province, Spain (1994 –2013)

ConclusionsAmong women aged 50 –69 years old, incidence of DCIS has significantly increased yet mortality has decreased. Overall, the all-cause mortality risk of women diagnosed with DCIS remains similar to that of the general population except for women diagnosed before age 50 and those with sIBC, who showed a significant inc reased risk. Differential management of these patients should be considered.
