Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular phenotypes of invasive breast cancer predict early recurrence. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) exhibits similar phenotypes, but their frequency and significance remain unclear. To determine whether DCIS molecular phenotypes predict recurrence, 314 women (median age 57.7 years) with primary DCIS who were screened or entered DCIS trials in a specialist breast unit from 1990 to 2010 were...
