Can a biopsy needle turn a DCIS into invasive cancer?

My situation is exactly like cashemire's...2 tumors appeared along the incision ; ten months later when I had my first follow-up, I was told it was just scar tissue, but it wasn't. Cancer had returned. I am in limbo at the moment.

Did you have radiation to the area? I did, which was supposed to neutralize any wayward cancer cells...but obviously it did not! I've been told this local return is rare. I hope all goes well for you, what are they recommending in your case? I had mastectomy a year ago and I hope nothing ever comes back anywhere!

Hello,
This was after lumpectomy surgery for dcis?
Had you gotten radiation after the surgery?
