Dear Women's Imaging Insider,
Does imaging method influence the recurrence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) after treatment? South Korean researchers say yes.
In a study we're highlighting in this edition's Insider Exclusive, researchers found that ultrasound as the detection modality was associated with lower recurrence-free survival rates compared with mammography in patients treated for asymptomatic DCIS.
