SHARING: What You Should Know About DCIS
We can’t recall the exact year, but it was at least 15 years ago when we first encountered a scandal in the cancer care industry, for that indeed is what it is (scandal and industry). And you’re not going to be surprised to hear that it’s alive and well to this day.
Cancer is one of those dread words that sends a shiver down our spine before we elect to have the most aggressive treatment possible to kill this life-threatening invader.
The diagnosis makes normally rational people frightened and a little irrational (to see what fear can do, we refer you to the behaviour of the mass population during the Covid epidemic).
So, when a woman is told she has cancer starting to form in her breast and the best option is a full mastectomy, she will probably agree to the treatment. Several of our friends have recently done the self-same thing, although they’ve usually told us after the event, probably knowing full well what we would have said.
And what we would have told them is that they didn’t have cancer at all. Instead, they had ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Although it does have the C word in the title, it’s actually a minor cell abnormality around the breast tissue which is a non-invasive or pre-invasive cancer and is usually classified as ‘stage 0’.
Treatment is still often a mastectomy—and yet just 1 percent of these stage 0 cancers ever develop into breast cancer. DCIS makes up a quarter of all breast cancer cases, and it’s a phenomenon of mass mammography, which is sensitive enough to pick up these non-cancers.
The problem is in the name, and several oncologists down the years have tried to give the condition a different one that doesn’t suggest cancer. One of the name-change pioneers is Shelley Hwang from Duke Cancer Center and, in 2016, Time magazine selected her as one of the most influential people of the year.
The only problem is that she hasn’t been in any way influential. Despite her efforts, the world of oncology has barely registered her campaign, and we think we know why.
If DCIS makes up 25 percent of all breast cancer cases that need treatment, that means they also make up 25 percent of the oncologist’s revenues.
To ask anyone to take an immediate pay cut of that magnitude is hard, and the oncologist is as human as the rest of us with all the usual bills to pay.
The trouble is he’s not stacking shelves. He is removing a woman’s breast unnecessarily, and putting her through stress, fear and panic in the meantime.
And if we know that just 1 percent of DCIS cases ever becomes true breast cancer, so does the oncologist. And that makes it immoral.
So, if you or someone you love ever gets a DCIS diagnosis, don’t just ignore it, but carry out regular breast inspections with your hand to check out for any lumps that weren’t there yesterday.
And remember, mammograms pick up only around 75 percent of DCIS cases—which means 25 percent of women have DCIS and never know it and will carry on with their lives in blissful ignorance—without breast cancer.
Stay safe and sane.
