Multicenter Study Clinical TrialSalvage treatment for local recurrence following breast-conserving surgery and definitive irradiation for ductal carcinoma in situ (intraductal carcinoma) of the breast.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the outcome of salvage treatment for local recurrence in the breast following the initial treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (intraductal carcinoma) with breast-conserving surgery and definitive breast irradiation. ⋯ These results demonstrate that local recurrences following the initial treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ with breast-conserving surgery and definitive breast irradiation can be salvaged with high rates of survival, freedom from distant metastases, and freedom from chest wall recurrence. The results of salvage treatment support the use of breast-conserving surgery and definitive breast irradiation for the initial management of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.
