Hormone Testing Could Tell Which Women with Precursor Will Develop Breast Cancer

Determining when DCIS is more likely to morph into invasive breast cancer could save patients from unnecessary and expensive treatment.

    I know they're trying to figure out the same thing for men with prostate cancer---aggressive or walk away and wait.

    Would be great if they could do it for breast cancer. DCIS is a good step; hope it works on LCIS (or ALH as it is sometimes called now) too.
