Breast cancer screening detects many early stage breast cancers (ductal carcinoma in situ or ''DCIS'') that are unlikely to threaten a woman's life. However; aggressive treatment is recommended for all women with DCIS because we cannot currently identify which of these DCIS cases are potentially life threatening. Our research is focused on finding ways to know which DCIS cases are unlikely to progress to invasive cancer so that these women do not have to suffer needlessly from the side effects of aggressive treatment.
