Abstract

Margin and histological size of ductal in situ carcinoma or intraductal component of an infiltrative carcinoma are important prognostic factors to predict presence/absence as well as amount of residual tumor burden. Their evaluation requires standardized pathological analysis. These factors should be interpreted in clinical and radiological context.
