Q

Are there data supporting BCM benefit for addition of RT for DCIS post-lumpectomy?

A

Yes, Giannakeas SEER analysis (JAMA, 2018) demonstrated 15-yr BCM benefit with lumpectomy + RT with clear benefit for grade 3 and tumors 1-1.9 cm and >5 cm. *Interpret large database studies with caution as have been shown to correlate with Ph3s at essentially chance

Q

Does risk impact benefit of RT s/p lumpectomy for DCIS patients?
