Abstract
In the past 10 years clinical trials have confirmed the value of breast conserving therapy for invasive breast cancer and many authorities now consider this the preferred and appropriate treatment (NCI Consensus Statement 1992a). However controversy still surrounds the treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This uncertainty relates in part to a deficiency of prospective studies; such studies have begun only recently and many are not yet concluded. The controversy also relates to the perception that DCIS may be cured by breast ablation, whereas recurrence in a more aggressive form may occur with breast conserving surgery and the patient may develop invasive breast cancer with metastases resulting in death. The real question therefore is how often does this last scenario take place? Also, the expectation mastectomy is 100% curative needs to be critically examined.
