Axillary Staging in Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO

👉DCIS is noninvasive and, by definition, is unable to metastasize.

👉However, studies have shown that up to 15% of patients with pure DCIS have isolated tumor cells (ITCs) or micrometastasis on nodal evaluation.

– However, these small tumor deposits likely have little prognostic significance and may be cell clusters displaced by biopsy.

👉In patients with DCIS detected by core biopsy, there is a 15% to 20% associated risk of an invasive component when excised.

👉Patients undergoing mastectomy for DCIS should be offered sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) since it would not be feasible to perform following a mastectomy if invasive carcinoma is subsequently identified.

👉ASCO consensus guidelines recommend that patients with DCIS who undergo breast-conserving operation should not routinely have SLNB.

👉However, SLNB could be discussed with patients undergoing breast conservation who have a core biopsy diagnosis of DCIS and a large area of DCIS on imaging (2 to 5 cm), high-grade DCIS, or comedonecrosis or when a physical examination or imaging shows a discrete mass.

👉These findings have been associated with an increased risk of invasive cancer, and SLNB at the time of the initial operation could avoid a second operation.
