Description

Meurs et al reported a model for predicting invasive breast cancer in a woman with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) identified in a breast biopsy. This can help to guide management of the patient. The authors are from multiple institutions in The Netherlands.


Patient selection: DCIS seen in a breast biopsy

 

Parameters:

(1) detection mode (screen, otherwise)

(2) palpable

(3) BI-RADS 3, 4 or 5

(4) DCIS grade

(5) suspected invasive component at biopsy
