Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) and Invasive Breast Cancer

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive breast cancer represent two ends of the spectrum of breast malignancies, each demanding distinct diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. While DCIS is confined to the ducts and often detected incidentally, invasive cancer spreads into surrounding tissue, carrying higher morbidity and mortality. Modern oncology emphasizes tumor eradication through surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, whereas Ayurveda addresses disease at its root through detoxification, immune strengthening, and Rasayana rejuvenation. Integrating these approaches offers a comprehensive model of care, balancing survival outcomes with long-term quality of life.
