DCIS
• Definition: proliferation of malignant appearin g mammary
ductal epithelial cells without evidence of invasion beyond
Basement membrane
• Stage: Stage Tis: carcinoma in situ
• 15 – 30 % DCIS :-cancer screening, age 49 to 69 yrs
• Morphologic classification: Comedo, papillary, micropapillary,
solid, cribiform.
• Breast cancer-specific mortality for women with ductal
carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is low.
• BCS is associated with higher rates of local recurrence (LR),
and therefore additional treatment.
• Approximately half of all LRs are invasive, with an associated
risk of breast cancer mortality
• Negative margins in BCS for DCIS have been shown to reduce
the risk of LR; however it remains a topic of debate.
• Guidelines for BCS in invasive cancer, which recommend a
minimum margin of no ink on tumor (0 mm), are not directly
applicable to DCIS
• studies of the growth pattern of DCIS have found that
multifocal lesions with intervening normal ductal segments
are relatively common.
• Therefore, while some guidelines have specified a minimum
margin 0 mm, wider thresholds of 1 mm and 2 mm have been
adopted by others, and 10 mm has been recommended by a
previous meta-analysis.
• So Using Study-level meta-analysis, the evidence on surgical
margins in women with DCIS treated with BCS was
systematically examined to
(i) estimate the effect of microscopic margin status on LR;
(ii) Investigate the effect of various thresholds to define
negative margins;
(iii) Define a minimum negative margin distance to maximize
local control.
Methods
Criteria for study eligibility:
1. Women with DCIS undergoing BCS
2. Numerically defined margin thresholds ( negative margin :-
no ink on tumour:- interpreted as >0 mm)
Exclusion criteria:
1. Studies that dint quantify negative margin distance
2. Used unclear margin definitions
3. All patients who had the same margin
4. LR rate derived from kaplan meire analysis, from which crude
data could not be derived
• In this metanalysis those studies chosen who reported mean
and median age for study population
• Minimum follow up of 4 years
• Enrolled atleast minimum 50 women with DCIS undergoing
BCS
• Literature search:
1. Medline
2. Embase databases
3. Premedline & all EBM reviews searched via Ovid
Data Extraction:
VARIABLES:
1. Margin status:
positive/close/negative
2. Numeric margin distances ( in
mm)
3. Margin specific LR
4. Patient recruitment year :-
start/end years
5. No of Pts included/excluded
6. Age (mean/median)
7. Duration of follow up (
mean/median)
8. Proportion with invasive Vs
DCIS recurrence
9. Proportion with
WBRT/radiation therapy
boost/total doses
10. Endocrine therapy
11. Screen detected DCIS
12. Comedonecrosis
13. Nuclear grade
14. Hormone receptor positive
15. Tumor size/multifocal DCIS
Continued……..
• There was evidence of a lower OR for 10 mm relative to >0 or 1 mm
(ROR 0.46) attributable to the inclusion of one non-WBRT study at 10
mm.
• There was no evidence of a difference in the OR for 10 mm relative to
2 mm (ROR 0.66), or in the OR for 2 mm relative to[0 or 1 mm (ROR
0.70).
• In logistic models (Table 2), ORs for the 3 or 5 mm and 10 mm
thresholds were larger than for the main analysis and not significantly
different from >0 or 1 mm (p>0.42), reflecting the inclusion of non-
WBRT studies at 3 or 5 mm28 and 10 mm with a relatively high
prevalence of LR (31.0 % and 17.8 %, respectively).
• Pairwise comparisons found no evidence that 2, 3 or 5 mm, and 10
mm were different from one another (p>0.20 for all).
Discussion
• This study results differ to those of Wang et al., who found
decreasing ORs as the threshold distance increased up to 10
mm, and hence recommended a 10 mm margin for DCIS. In
contrast, the odds of LR in this analysis did not decrease
beyond a distance of 2 mm.
Discussion
• No difference between LR rate between BCS + /- WBRT
• There was no evidence that minimum margins wider than 2
mm were Meta-Analysis of Surgical Margins for DCIS
associated with additional reductions in LR in women
receiving adjuvant WBRT.
Conclusion
This meta-analysis indicates that a negative margin
threshold of 2 mm is an appropriate recommendation
for surgical management of DCIS in women receiving
BCS with WBRT.

Editor's Notes

  1. Breast cancer-specific mortality for women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is low, regardless of whether breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy is performed. BCS is associated with higher rates of local recurrence (LR), and therefore has the potential to lead to additional treatment. Approximately half of all LRs are invasive, with an associated risk of breast cancer mortality;2 therefore, it is critical that BCS is optimized to reduce the risk of LR, while maintaining its benefits to cosmesis and quality of life relative to more extensive surgery
  2. Negative margins in BCS for DCIS have been shown to reduce the risk of LR, however, the optimal margin distance (i.e. the threshold to declare a negative margin) remains a topic of debate. Guidelines for BCS in invasive cancer, which recommend a minimum margin of no ink on tumor ([0 mm),are not directly applicable to DCIS given the differences in the use of adjuvant whole-breast radiotherapy (WBRT) and systemic therapies. Furthermore, studies of the growth pattern of DCIS have found that multifocal lesions with intervening normal ductal segments are relatively common. Therefore, while some guidelines have specified a minimum margin[0 mm, wider thresholds of 1 mm and 2 mm have been adopted by others, and 10 mm has been recommended by a previous meta-analysis.
  3. women with DCIS undergoing BCS, and allowed calculation of the crude proportion of LR in relation to microscopic margin status and the threshold distance used to declare a negative margin. Only numerically defined margin thresholds (or negative margins defined as ‘no ink on tumor’—interpreted as (0 mm) were included; studies that did not quantify negative margin distance or used unclear margin definitions were excluded. Studies were excluded if all patients had the same margin status.
  4. Twenty studies were eligible for inclusion,reporting data on 8651 patients with DCIS; 7883 had known margin status (865 LRs) and were included in this models. Two studies were prospectively designed and the remaining 18 studies were retrospective. Studies enrolled patients between 1968 and 2010 (median mid-point of recruitment, 1991). The median proportion of patients receiving WBRT across studies was 100 % (IQR 50.3–100.0 %); 71 % of all patients in eligible studies received WBRT.
  5. Median study-level proportion of patients receiving endocrine therapy was 20.8 % (IQR 0.0–31.4 %). Median follow-up time was 78.3 months (IQR 59.0–94.7), and the prevalence of LR was 8.3 % (IQR 5.0–11.9 %) in 7883 patients with margins data. 768 patients with unknown margins (not included in this models), the prevalence of LR was 12.4 % (95 LRs).
  6. Presents study-specific prevalence of LR, stratified by margin threshold used in the models and ordered by follow-up time. Heterogeneity was evident within margin categories; however, prevalence was generally higher at 0 or 1 mm relative to wider thresholds. strong evidence that LR increased with follow-up odds ratio (OR) for every additional year of follow-up = 1.29, 95 % CI 1.11–1.51; p = 0.002.
  7. This table presents ORs from a model of the main effects of margin status and distance. The OR for negative versus positive/ close margin status was 0.53 (95 % CI 0.45–0.62; p\0.001). Relative to[0 or 1 mm, ORs for 2 mm (0.51, 95 % CI 0.31–0.85; p = 0.01), 3 or 5 mm (0.42, 95 % CI 0.18–0.97; p = 0.04) and 10 mm (0.60, 95 % CI (0.33–1.08; p = 0.09) showed comparable, statistically significant reductions in the odds of LR.
  8. Predicted probabilities of LR at 10 years derived from this model are presented in this table
  9. For direct comparisons between positive and negative margins (adjusted for median follow-up), patients with negative margins were significantly less likely to experience LR than patients with positive margins (OR 0.45, 95 % CrI 0.30–0.62). ORs for 2 mm (0.32,95 % CrI 0.21–0.48), 3 mm (0.30, 95 % CrI 0.12–0.76), and 10 mm (0.32, 95 % CrI 0.19–0.49) all showed similar reductions in the odds of LR that were greater than for >0 or 1 mm (0.45, 95 % CrI 0.32–0.61). Comparisons between 10 and 2 mm showed no meaningful difference in the odds of LR Comparing >0 or1 mm and 2 mm showed weak evidence of lower odds of LR for 2 mm
