title: Assessment of surgical operations for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.
abstract: The choice of surgical procedure for the treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) remains clinically based. A meta-analysis was used to synthesize the results of 24 published clinical studies. Partial breast tissue excision appears to be as efficacious as mastectomy for the treatment of DCIS of the breast.
