A Comparison of Tumor Biology in Primary Ductal Carcinoma In Situ Recurring as Invasive Carcinoma versus a New In Situ

Table 3

Univariate and multivariate analysis of the associations between baseline clinical-, histopathological-, and molecular characteristics and the risk for a recurrence being invasive carcinoma compared to in situ carcinoma, among women with a primary DCIS and a known recurrence in the Uppsala/Västerås cohort, in the SweDCIS randomized study and in the two groups pooled together ( ).
