TEMPORARY REMOVAL: Twenty-Five Year Trends in the Incidence of Ductal Carcinoma in Situ in US Women.
The rising incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) since the widespread enactment of mammography screening has been well documented. Patterns in DCIS incidence among women of various ages and across different racial and ethnic groups have not been well described. ⋯ The DCIS incidence rates are influenced substantially by breast cancer mammography screening patterns. However, differences exist by race and ethnicity and are not fully explained by screening mammography trends alone. Consideration should be given to including race and ethnicity in determining optimal breast screening guidelines.
