5.6 cm DCIS. Masectomy undertaken just under 6 weeks ago. Back at work this week, a mini phased return. I think a younger age also increases the risk of recurrence, also remember to check masectomy scars too.
Does DCIS measurement get combined with IDC to quote tumor size? I had a large amount of DCIS with IDC. Treated with mastectomy, radiation and now Anastrazole. Also, how common is it for DCIS to be dismissed as calcifications on mammogram if you have dense breast tissue? Thank you so much for your insights!
Hello Tasha . Really good to listen to good clear info on breast cancer. I have had dmx due to TNBC, but as a very low ER receptor I have been denied any keytruda, offered hormone treatment despite no evidence. Not feeling great about my oncology input . Finished treatment this December.
Interesting, informative video. If a lumpectomy/ WLE by wire is done for "B3 with atypica" but post surgery result states that all was removed in the biopsy (VAB), what would the surgeon remove if they can't see/ locate the target lump at the time? Would it mean they have to remove a larger section to ensure they have covered enough margin?

Thank you for this explanation. I now understand why radiation is being required for my treatment.
You are welcome. I am glad it was helpful 🙏🏽

Is there a video on Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia and how that differs from DCIS? Your videos are quite informative!
Hi, no there isn’t one I am afraid. But you can check out my podcast: My Breast My Health (on Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc). Episode 29 may be helpful.

Hello Dr Tasha,could you make video on phyllode tumor?
I wonder if it's because phyllodes isn't a breast cancer? I believe it comes under 'soft tissue sarcoma'...
Is an AI needed after lumpectomy surgery and radiation therapy for DCIS grade 2, ER & PR positive?
Please can you help me with the reason why women with bigger breasts are prone to cancer than those with smaller breast.
Right ❤❤
There is no evidence to suggest that this is the case.
I am her2 - but er pr + got my surgery done do i need chemo
You will need to have this discussion with your oncologist who can talk to you about it in more detail.
