DCIS News Articles

We are committed to sharing the latest news, research, and media coverage surrounding ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and the growing movement toward informed, individualized care. This page features recent articles highlighting active monitoring for low-risk DCIS, personalized risk assessment tools, concerns about overdiagnosis and overtreatment, and the ongoing discussion about removing the misleading term “carcinoma” from DCIS terminology.

We believe women deserve access to balanced information that reflects evolving science and supports thoughtful decision-making rather than fear-based treatment approaches. You will also find interviews, videos, and media appearances featuring DCIS 411 Founder Donna Pinto, who has spent many years advocating for patient education, informed consent, and greater awareness of the controversies surrounding DCIS diagnosis and treatment.
