Ductal carcinoma in situ - (pronounced) (DUK-tul KAR-sih-NOH-moo in SY-too) condition in which abnormal cells are found in the lining of a breast duct. The abnormal cells have not spread outside the milk duct to other tissues in the breast. In some cases, ductal carcinoma in situ can become invasive breast cancer and spread to other tissues. At this point, there is no way of knowing which abnormal cells could become invasive. Also called DCIS and intraductal breast cancer
