Abstract
Ductal carcinoma in situ is a malignant proliferation of epithelial cells within the ducts with no invasion. DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) is a heterogenous group of lesions that have very different morphology, biology, and clinical behavior. It is considered to be a true precursor of invasive disease although not all DCIS progress to become invasive carcinoma.
