Carcinoma In situ is contained within the duct and therefore does not spread out of the immediate area. As far as the choice of treatment; this is something that you will need to discuss in detail with your Oncologist and/or Surgeon. They will advise whatever treatment will give you the best advantage for a cure. There are side effects from Radiation and those will be explained to you by the Oncology Team. As a rule it is tiredness and of course there is some burning of the skin (sunburn type) and there are creams used to lessen the discomfort from this. The Surgeon can advise you whether just an excision of the two areas can be done easily or if a more extensive surgery would be needed. Regards ....
