Brief description DCIS refers to abnormal changes in the breast that may or may not lead to breast cancer later on. Screening women over 70 means more DCIS will be found and treated by surgery, radiotherapy, and other treatments. To avoid unnecessary treatment, some DCIS patients could instead have regular checks (monitoring). This research will develop a tool to help women over 70 with DCIS to make an informed choice between monitoring or immediate treatment, and test whether this improves their quality of life.
