Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN) 1A diagnosed through biopsy and the likelihood of finding more serious conditions like ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive carcinoma during surgery or follow-up imaging.
- Researchers analyzed 239 patients who had DIN 1A diagnosed through imaging-guided core needle or vacuum-assisted biopsies, excluding those with more severe conditions.
- The findings revealed a low upgrade rate of 4.2%, suggesting that immediate surgery may not be necessary and that short-term imaging follow-up could be a viable alternative.
