Journal ArticleDOI
Mammographically detected duct carcinoma in situ. Frequency of local recurrence following tylectomy and prognostic effect of nuclear grade on local recurrence.
TL;DR: Nuclear grade would appear to identify subsets of DCIS more likely to produce local failure after tylectomy alone, with duct carcinoma in situ with high‐grade nuclear morphology and comedo‐type necrosis associated with a 19% local recurrence rate after an average interval of 26 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Duct carcinoma in situ. Relationship of extent of noninvasive disease to the frequency of occult invasion, multicentricity, lymph node metastases, and short-term treatment failures
TL;DR: It is suggested that an important predictive factor for the presence of occult invasion and multicentricity in the resected breast is the extent of the noninvasive lesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
A guide to the frequency of nipple involvement in breast cancer. A study of 149 consecutive mastectomies using a serial subgross and correlated radiographic technique
TL;DR: The frequency of carcinomatous involvement of the nipple was found to be 30.2 per cent in a consecutive series of 149 mastectomy specimens, significantly higher than that in other reported series.
