Radiation Oncology for DCIS

There are two different ways of describing a quote negative margin or, for example, no need for re-excision. For DCIS, the guidelines from two groups came together and have developed a guideline saying that we need a 2 millimeter margin in general before moving on to adjuvant radiation. And you'll hear a lot more later from Dr. Estrman because the treatment for DCIS has gone through a lot of changes and it's continuing to change. But pretty much the standard of care would be to meet with the radiation oncologists to discuss the risks and benefits of adding post-lumpectomy radiation.
