However, without knowing what the result of the biopsy is, why is there a recommendation for 1 month of radiation therapy based solely on a diagnosis of LCIS on core biopsy? That is not standard.

I met with the surgeon today and he recommended I have a the small area removed and that they check my nodes. And he had a copy of the same path report i had showing the LCIS he said it is better to get the area out so it does not turn into invasive cancer and then 1 month of radiation and 5 years of tamox. I think they just want to be safe maybe. And he did day I Have LCIS. Thank you Hello thank you for your quick response.
