About this booklet
This booklet is about ductal carcinoma in situ, usually called DCIS for short. DCIS is the earliest possible form of breast cancer.
DCIS is non-invasive. This means the breast cancer cells are contained in the ducts and lobules. They have not spread into surrounding breast tissue.
This booklet is for anyone who have been diagnosed with DCIS. There is also information for carers, family members and friends.
