Mayo Clinic to test vaccine designed to provide immune response against early breast lesions
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. ? Only about 35 percent of precancerous breast lesions morph into cancer if untreated, but physicians cannot identify which lesions are potentially dangerous. So all women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ undergo traditional therapy of surgery and possibly hormonal therapy and radiation. Now, Mayo Clinic researchers are about to test a vaccine [...] (Source: Mayo Clinic Florida News)

New Research Shows Breast Cancer Precursor Treatment Causes Women to Live Longer
This study is particularly important because DCIS treatment includes radiotherapy, which can cause damage to nearby organs
More and more people are becoming aware they have DCIS because it is something that shows up in breast cancer screenings—so more women are able to get treated if they have this form of cancer.
For more information on the study, please visit “Women treated for precursor of breast cancer can expect to live as long as other women.”

Common breast cancer test may not be worth the cost, UCLA study suggests
A genomic test widely used to help determine whether women with a common form of breast cancer should undergo radiation is not cost effective, according to a new UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center study. The Oncotype DX DCIS test is given to women with ductal carcinoma in situ, which means the cancer has not spread to any other tissues, to help them choose the best treatment by better identifying the potential of tumors to come back.Oncotype DX DCIS reduces the number of women undergoing radiation therapy, which is good because it decreases the number of women exposed to possibly harmful side effects. However, UCLA J...
