Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients must have high quality mammogram including magnification views of the area containing suspicious calcifications.
  • A specimen radiograph is required. If the specimen radiograph does not assure removal of all suspicious microcalcifications, a post-operative mammogram showing removal of all suspicious calcifications is required.
  • The clinical extent of DCIS must be less than or equal to 2.5 cm.
  • Grade 1 or 2 DCIS; patients with lobular carcinoma-in-situ (LCIS) in addition to DCIS in the breast are eligible. Negative margins are not required on the LCIS.
  • Patients must undergo a wide excision. A re-excision after the initial biopsy might be needed. Complete resection of the area of DCIS with a histologic margin of at least 1 cm must be achieved.
  • Patients must be enrolled on this protocol within 3 months of the last surgical procedure.

Exclusion

  • Patients with invasive carcinoma including microinvasive disease
  • Carcinoma found in the sampled lymph nodes if axillary dissection is done
  • Patients with nipple discharge
  • Patients with adjuvant chemotherapy or Tamoxifen
  • Patients with a history of prior malignancies other than squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
