[edit] Ductal carcinoma in situ
Ductal carcinoma in situ (or DCIS) is the most common type of noninvasive breast cancer in women. Ductal carcinoma refers to the development of cancer cells within the milk ducts of the breast. In Situ means “in place” and refers to the fact that the cancer has not moved out of the duct and into any surrounding tissue. DCIS can be difficult to detect by physical examination and is usually discovered through a mammogram as very small specs of calcium known as microcalcifations.
[edit] Will work on an original entry
Sorry, was not trying to pull a fast one. My first attempt at creating a entry, good thing you guys stalk the sight 24/7. Able to weed out any possible infringements within minutes of its posting, even at 2 in the morning. Had such a hard time comming up with descent information regarding this type of cancer I was a little too eager to share it with others. I will wait until the iron claw lifts from this entry and start an original article.
[edit] Have started a temporary page reflecting the above entry
Its only one paragraph but I will work on it.
[edit] Disambiguation page
I followed a link to the disambiguation page Ductal carcinoma and found it very unhelpful. After following both links (to Infiltrating ductal carcinoma and to Ductal carcinoma in situ), I learned what I wanted to know; and furthermore, I realised that these two short articles could easily be combined into a single article at Ductal carcinoma. So I did this.
Obviously, as the size of Ductal carcinoma increases, people will one day want to recreate the separate articles Infiltrating ductal carcinoma and Ductal carcinoma in situ (or something similar). But when this happens, there should be a substantial introductory article at Ductal carcinoma, else confusion will reign once more.
