New Analytical Tool May Determine How DCIS Invasion Occurs
A new analytical tool called topographic single-cell sequencing can reveal a direct genomic lineage between in situ and invasive tumor subpopulations, which may help decipher how and why some DCIS become invasive. (Source: CancerNetwork)

New cancer model shows genomic link between early-stage and invasive breast cancer types
(University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center) A new genetic-based model may explain how a common form of early-stage breast cancer known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) progresses to a more invasive form of cancer say researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

COUNTERPOINT: Should Radiation Therapy After Surgery for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ Be Standard Practice?
To universally recommend breast irradiation for all women after excision of DCIS lesions ignores information now available to us that can spare the majority of women with DCIS the downsides of RT, but be applied in the treatment of DCIS patients at greater risk for invasive disease.

POINT: Should Radiation Therapy After Surgery for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ Be Standard Practice?
At this time RT following BCS remains the standard of care for most patients. Current tools, including prognostic scores and tumor genetics, have failed to identify a cohort for whom RT confers no benefit with respect to invasive recurrences. (Source: CancerNetwork)
