Papel de la radioterapia en el tratamiento del carcinoma in situ de mama

Abstract

As a result of mammographic screening programs, the incidence of diagnosed non-invasive breast carcinomas has increased markedly. Nevertheless, the elective treatment for these kind of tumours has not yet been established, leading to controversies to decide about which is the best therapeutic option, whether mastectomy or conserving therapy. We make a review of the literature, and discuss the different treatment options for breast carcinoma in situ, especially the role of radiation therapy.
