Local Excision Alone for Selected Patients With DCIS of the Breast


OBJECTIVES:

- Evaluate actuarial local in situ and invasive recurrence rates at 5 and 10 years after
local excision in women with a favorable ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) prognosis.

- Evaluate concordance between institutional pathologists and central review pathologists
with respect to diagnosis and grading of DCIS.

- Identify parameters that indicate increased or decreased risk of recurrence in the
absence of irradiation.

- Evaluate patterns of salvage of recurrence and rates of breast conservation.

- Evaluate actuarial relapse-free, overall, and cause-specific survival at 5 and 10 years
post DCIS excision.

OUTLINE: This is a registration study stratified by histologic grade (high vs low or
intermediate) and adjuvant tamoxifen therapy (yes vs no).

Patients receive standard clinical and mammographic follow-up for greater than 10 years. If
recurrence occurs, treatment will be at the discretion of the investigators. Patients may
receive adjuvant oral tamoxifen daily for 5 years after local excision.

A follow up magnification view mammogram must be taken after the last local excision, and
microcalcification must be negative.

Patients are followed every 6 months for the first 10 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 1000 (500 per stratum) eligible and evaluable patients will be enrolled
at an estimated accrual rate of 250 patients per year.
