Abstract

Background: Management of breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has various approaches with distinct institutional specific practice. Here, we review DCIS management in a single institution with emphasise on re-operation rates and outcome. Methods: DCIS cases diagnosed at the Nottingham Breast Institute between 1987 and 2017 were identified (n=1,249). Clinicopathological data was collected. Cases were histologically reviewed, and different factors associated with primary operation selection, re-excision, presence of residual tumour in the re-excision specimens, use of radiotherapy and ipsilateral recurrences were analysed. Results: 34% of DCIS patients were initially treated by mastectomy and were more frequently symptomatic, of high nuclear tumour grade, size >40mm, and associated with comedo necrosis and Paget’s disease of the nipple. Further surgery was due to involved or narrow surgical margins. Residual tumour tissue was detected in 53% of the re-excision specimens. Re-excision rates of patients treated with breast conserving surgery (BCS) were reduced from approximately 70% to 23% and the final mastectomy rates decreased from 60% to 20%. Changes in surgical practice with acceptance of smaller excision margins and more frequent use of local radiotherapy have led to a significant decrease not only in the re-excision rate but also in the final mastectomy rate together with non-significant reduction in 5- and 10-year local recurrence rates. Conclusion: Although BCS is increasingly the preferred primary surgical option for DCIS management, a proportion of low-risk DCIS patients continue to undergo re-excision surgery or completion mastectomy. Despite acceptance of smaller margins, recurrence rate is decreasing.
