[Well1501]

An Australian study found that terminology used to describe DCIS impacts the fear levels and treatment preferences for women.

This information is based on current research, and will be updated regularly. The following charts were

created by the COMET Study Patient Leadership Team (PLT), with feedback from others, to help healthcare providers (HCPs):

Distinguish “low-risk” from high-risk DCIS

Reduce patient and public fear and confusion

Educate and empower patients with more accurate language and information

to foster informed decision-making
