What is the defining line between ADH and DCIS..I know they are not always a progression, but I assume that USUALLY they are. It seems to me, it is about quantity of cells. I have also heard that to qualify for DCIS, that 2 ducts need to be involved...so the same cell conditions but in one duct only, get classed as ADH. Is this right?
ADH just means that there are cells proliferating with some hint of abnormality. I agree that this can be a continuum, but DCIS would require a more aggressive treatment (surgery with or without radiationCystitis - noninfectious Radiation therapy), while ADH would usually require close observation.
Thank you. This forum is excellent and I appreciate your activity on it. I realize how lucky I am to have ADH and not something more serious. I'm just working my way thru the "panick" and education
