Presentation
Presentation is often insidious, and a large proportion (50%) of patients may be asymptomatic at the time of detection 1. Alternatively, as these tumors can produce large quantities of mucus, patients may present with bronchorrhea. [radiopaedia.org]
We present results of a multicentre study measuring UBC Rapid Test in bladder cancer patients and healthy controls with focus on carcinoma in situ (CIS) and high-grade bladder cancer. [refubium.fu-berlin.de]
Some patients present with such extensive DCIS that it may already contain areas of invasion, and mastectomy may be felt necessary to control the process in a person with years of expected survival. [cancernetwork.com]
This finding supports the genetic predisposition data presented here, with ER and grade-specific loci in DCIS having similar specificity in IDC. [breast-cancer-research.biomedcentral.com]

Asymptomatic
Presentation is often insidious, and a large proportion (50%) of patients may be asymptomatic at the time of detection 1. Alternatively, as these tumors can produce large quantities of mucus, patients may present with bronchorrhea. [radiopaedia.org]
Evaluation of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria in adults: the American Urological Association best practice policy--part II: patient evaluation, cytology, voided markers, imaging, cystoscopy, nephrology evaluation, and follow-up. [medscape.com]
Treatment
One possible treatment is surgical removal of the cells with cryotherapy. What are the signs of eye cancer, and what is the treatment? Learn more here. [medicalnewstoday.com]
After surgery, you may need other treatments. These are called adjuvant treatments and can include radiotherapy and, in some cases, hormone therapy. [breastcancernow.org]
Results: All patients showed excellent toleration of the treatment without any side effects. Treatment resulted in complete eradication of tumor cells in 3 patients and persistent tumor detection in the other 6 patients. [ec.europa.eu]
However, solid, invasive components are frequently present and despite radical treatment, recurrence rates are high. [radiopaedia.org]
These intravesical treatments are not effective in the 20% of patients in whom cancer has invaded the bladder wall muscle; those cases require cystectomy or a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy (see Treatment ). [medscape.com]
Prognosis
Mucinous subtypes have worse prognosis 4, probably due to aerogenous spread that forms infiltrating, multifocal, or satellite tumors 11. [radiopaedia.org]
Although DCIS is an early form of breast cancer with a very good prognosis, people understandably may feel very anxious and frightened by the diagnosis. [breastcancernow.org]
