I can only say the post-surgery biopsy of the tumor excised from me was described as DCIS-invasive. I agree it sounds like a contradiction in terms so maybe it's a sub-category that identifies the tumor location (and type, DCIS being the most common type of first-event breast cancer) and the fact that 'invasive' was the variable that made it a Stage 1A. Otherwise the size of the tumor would have made it a Stage 0. It was good news that it was so small with no lymph node involvement. Though I'd far rather there wasn't anything there to be found by a mammo in the first place...
