Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) Treatment Algorithm

The management of DCIS can be a step by step process, with the outcome of each stage sometimes determining what is required next, and as such, I find a helpful way of outlining the possible treatment pathways is with the use of a treatment algorithm, which outlines the decision making process in flow chart format.

Practices change over time, with the introduction of modern surgical techniques, and I have developed my own DCIS treatment algorithm, based on my current practice and the way I currently work through the decision making in each individual patient.
