This conference, a sequel to the Consensus Conference on the Classification of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) held in Philadelphia in 1997, focused on the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, adjuvant therapy, follow‐up, prognostic markers, and reporting end points of DCIS. The end points of treatment discussed at the conference included breast conservation with appropriate cosmesis; risks of recurrence, metastasis, contralateral DCIS, and invasive cancer; and mortality specific to breast carcinoma.
