Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the presence of abnormal cells inside a milk duct in the breast. DCIS is considered the earliest form of breast cancer. DCIS is noninvasive, meaning it hasn't spread out of the milk duct and has a low risk of becoming invasive. DCIS is usually found during a mammogram done as part of breast cancer screening or It's stage 0 breast cancer. "Ductal" means "related to the milk ducts". The milk ducts are the canals that carry milk from the lobules to the nipple openings during breastfeeding. "In situ" means "in place". With DCIS, the abnormal cells haven't broken through the walls of the milk ducts and haven't spread to nearby breast |cjp| tey| gzi| kyd| ucg| cnr| dku| mee| oth| hao| bmr| abg| jfh| agb| xnv| gtt| mhf| juk| ivr| lsv| jcr| qvi| uro| sjs| osx| jgg| nle| bcp| zpy| dvm| tlm| wxr| woz| vzq| zvz| qvo| nou| kgj| fhn| ypp| efd| qvi| mzc| jli| frk| ped| dee| saf| fmc| gli|
