title: Duct carcinoma in situ of the breast: an overview.
abstract: DCIS of the breast is a lesion that was uncommon in the past (1% of the breast nodules) and now very frequent, representing not less than 20% of the mammographic lesions seen in any mammographic screening programme. This is consequent to the fact that mammography is more sensitive than palpatory clinical examination which was the diagnostic procedure offered 25 years ago.
