DCIS - Ductal carcinoma in situ San Diego
https://lajollasurgical.com/
DCIS stands for ductal carcinoma in situ. This means the cancer cells are inside the milk ducts or 'in situ' (in place) and have not developed the ability to spread either within or outside the breast. DCIS is an early form of breast cancer and may be described as a pre-invasive, non-invasive or intraductal cancer.
