The research, presented Friday at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, focused on women with ductal carcinoma in situ.
This refers to abnormal cells in the lining of the milk ducts that may or may not progress to cancer that invades the surrounding breast tissue. Because there is no way of foretelling a progression, surgery is usually performed to remove the abnormality.
