Invasive VS In Situ Breast Cancer - with Dr Tasha

In today's video I am going to talk about Invasive vs In Situ Breast Cancer.

In Situ means situated in the original place, so if we're talking about cancer, in-situ cancer is found within its original place and doesn't have the ability to spread elsewhere. Ductal Carcinoma in situ or DCIS means that the cancer originates from within the milk ducts of the breast and it's confined to the ducts. It's not found in any other parts of the breast and doesn't have the ability to spread to other parts of the body.

Unlike invasive cancer, DCIS is the type of cancer that is picked up on screening mammograms, and they usually present as abnormalities, using microcalcifications on mammograms, rather than presenting as breast lumps.

To know more, watch the video till the end.

Hi, I'm Dr Tasha

I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.

As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.

But I’m here to help.

The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.

So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.

That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my YouTube Channel.
