Abstract

Concerns about overdiagnosis and overtreatment have led to interest in de-escalating treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This article reviews the epidemiology, natural history, and current treatment options for DCIS and discusses ongoing efforts to further de-escalate treatment for these patients.
