Although in recent years there has been a dramatic increase in both the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and breast-conserving therapy for patients who have this disease, the optimal treatment for these patients remains controversial. Most data regarding outcomes have come from small, retrospective studies, with little data published from prospective, randomized studies. This study investigates the effects of age, postoperative breast irradiation, and other factors on local relapse free survival after breast-conserving surgery for women with DCIS in a large, single-institution series.
