Objective  To summarize the current status and progress of treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
Methods  The related literatures on actuality and advancement of treatment for DCIS were searched and reviewed.
Results  As the increase of incidence, the treatment options for DCIS continued to evolve. Surgical treatment options included mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery. Postoperative radiation therapy in combination with breast-conserving surgery was considered to be the standard for the decrease of local recurrence. The role of endocrine therapy was also being evaluated currently.
Conclusions  Breast-conserving surgery and combined therapy have became the main methods for treatment of DCIS. Further studies are necessary to determine which subset of patients with DCIS require only surgery alone without adjuvant therapy. Minimally invasive treatment will be a developing direction of DCIS.
