Background: Breast conservation therapy is a practical alternative to mastectomy for the treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The role of radiation therapy after excision for DCIS has been debated, however, its value in reducing recurrence has been proven by multiple prospective randomized trials and is well accepted.
Methods: We examined a prospective database of 260 patients treated for DCIS with excision and radiation from 1979 to 2002.
