Welcome back to "My Breast My Health," where we shed light on important topics related to breast health. In today's solo episode, we're delving into the world of DCIS, also known as ductal carcinoma in situ. We'll be tackling what it is, how it presents, the treatment options available, and the prognosis associated with it.DCIS is a non-invasive form of breast cancer, confined to the milk ducts and not spreading into the surrounding breast tissue. It often goes undetected without presenting symptoms and is usually identified through breast screening, such as mammograms. However, it can manifest through calcifications on mammograms, nipple discharge, or as a less common breast lump.As we navigate through this episode, we'll explore the diagnostic process, surgical and non-surgical treatment options, and the reasons behind treating a non-invasive condition. We'll also dive into the risk of recurrence following treatment and the crucial role of regular follow-up and maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-treatment.So if you've ever wondered about DCIS and its implications, stick around as we unpack its complexities and implications.
