Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
MammoSite as Sole Radiation Therapy Technique for Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ
Summary
This study has been designed to compile information on the efficacy of the MammoSite RTS providing sole radiation therapy for patients with pure DCIS.
Full Description
Data relevant to the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the MammoSite RTS system in providing radiation therapy to patients with DCIS will be collected. The MammoSite is a radionuclide applicator designed to deliver internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) in patients with breast tumors following breast tumor resection surgery (lumpectomy).

Margins are positive if there is tumor at the inked margin.
Classified as low (NG1), intermediate (NG2) or high (NG3) nuclear grade DCIS, using the Philadelphia Consensus Conference Guidelines are eligible
