Screen-detected ductal carcinoma in situ found on stereotactic vacuum-assisted biopsy of suspicious microcalcifications without mass: radiological-histological correlation

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between clinico-radiological features and histological findings in patients with screen-detected DCIS.
