My mother had ductal carcinoma in situ in her mid-40s, successfully treated with surgery and radiation. One of my paternal aunts survived a malignant breast cancer. Am I considered high risk for ...
What Does a Diagnosis of DCIS or LCIS Breast Cancer Mean? Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are what doctors refer to as “stage zero” breast cancer.
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) often upgrade to invasive breast cancer at surgery. The current study aimed to identify factors associated with pathological underestimation and evaluate concordance rates of biomarkers between biopsy and surgery. Patients ...

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.
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) means the cells that line the milk ducts of the breast have become cancer, but they have not spread into surrounding breast tissue. DCIS is considered non-invasive or pre-invasive breast cancer.
DCIS is also called intraductal carcinoma or stage 0 breast cancer. DCIS is a non-invasive or pre-invasive breast cancer. This means the cells that line the ducts have changed to cancer cells but they have not spread through the walls of the ducts into the nearby breast tissue.
DCIS now accounts for about 20%–25% of all newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer in the United States and from 17% to 34% of mammography-detected cases (2–4).
DCIS that is high grade, is nuclear grade 3, or has a high mitotic rate is more likely to come back (recur) after it is removed with surgery. DCIS that is low grade, is nuclear grade 1, or has a low mitotic rate is less likely to come back after surgery.
The evidence for overtreatment of DCIS is extremely compelling, given the associated risk. Classic treatment strategies have almost always included either breast conservation with whole breast radiation or mastectomy. It is now becoming apparent that this type of “precursor lesion” is being overtreated.
DCIS is an early form of breast cancer. It is not invasive — the malignant cells do not grow through the wall of the duct or spread to lymph nodes or the blood stream. DCIS accounts for about 20% of breast cancers.
Generally, patients diagnosed with DCIS have an excellent long-term breast-cancer-specific survival of around 98% after 10 years of follow-up24–27 and a normal life expectancy.
It assumes that all breast carcinomas begin as DCIS and take 9 years to go from a single cell to an invasive lesion for the slowest growing lesions, 6 years for intermediate growing DCIS lesions, and 3 years for fast-growing DCIS lesions.
Calcifications can be due to DCIS. However, not all calcifications are found to be DCIS. Many women develop benign (not cancer) calcifications in their breasts as they get older. If you have calcifications, further mammograms will be done to see the calcifications in more detail.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
Here is some clinical information for you to provide to support the use of the D05 code#N#Abnormal cells that are confined to the ducts or lobules in the breast. There are two forms, called ductal carcinoma in situ (dcis) and lobular carcinoma in situ (lcis).#N#Stage 0 includes: tis, n0, m0. Tis: carcinoma in situ. N0: no regional lymph node metastasis. M0: no distant metastasis. (ajcc 6th and 7th eds.)#N#Stage 0 includes: tis, n0, m0. Tis: carcinoma in situ. N0: no regional lymph node metastasis. M0: no distant metastasis. (ajcc 6th ed.)#N#There are 2 types of stage 0 breast carcinoma in situ: ductal carcinoma in situ (dcis) and lobular carcinoma in situ (lcis). Dcis is a noninvasive condition in which abnormal cells are found in the lining of a breast duct (a tube that carries milk to the nipple). The abnormal cells have not spread outside the duct to other tissues in the breast. In some cases, dcis may become invasive cancer and spread to other tissues, although it is not known how to predict which lesions will become invasive cancer. Lcis is a condition in which abnormal cells are found in the lobules (small sections of tissue involved with making milk) of the breast. This condition seldom becomes invasive cancer; however, having lcis in one breast increases the risk of developing breast cancer in either breast.

The ICD code D051 is used to code Ductal carcinoma in situ. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), also known as intraductal carcinoma, is a pre-cancerous or non-invasive cancerous lesion of the breast. DCIS is classified as Stage 0.

An intraductal carcinoma of the breast extending to involve the nipple and areola, characterized clinically by eczema-like inflammatory skin changes and histologically by infiltration of the dermis by malignant cells (paget's cells). (Dorland, 27th ed) Breast cancer affects one in eight women during their lives.
Breast self-exam and mammography can help find breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Treatment may consist of radiation, lumpectomy, mastectomy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy.men can have breast cancer, too, but the number of cases is small. nih: national cancer institute.
