BACKGROUND: Studies report conflicting evidence regarding the existence of a DCIS-associated premalignant pathway in BRCA mutation carriers. We aimed to examine the prevalence, phenotype, and expression of oncodrivers in pure DCIS (pDCIS) and invasive breast cancer with concurrent DCIS (IBC + DCIS) in mutation carriers. METHODS: A cohort of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers >18 years old who underwent surgery for...
