It starts out as Ductal Carcinoma meaning cancer developing in your milk ducts. If it does not spread from your milk ducts it’s called Ductal Carcinoma In Situ or DCIS. It’s in place.
When Ductal Carcinoma spreads to surrounding tissue it’s no longer DCIS as it’s not “ In Situ”. It’s now called Invasive Ductal Carcinoma or IDC. DCIS is considered stage zero whereas once you have movement to lymph nodes one is like a stage 1B or so.
