Table 3 Lack of significant correlation between selected core biopsy features and lesional size in excisions (at the ≤ 2.7 cm versus > 2.7 cm threshold)
Core Biopsy features | Lesional size in excision ≤ 2.7 cm (n = 22) | Lesional size in excision > 2.7 cm (n = 18) | P |
|---|---|---|---|
Total DCIS ducts (means) | 25.3 | 28.0 | NS |
Number of tissue cores with DCIS (means) | 5.1 | 4.4 | NS |
DCIS ducts per tissue core (means) | 5.01 | 6.3 | NS |
Cancerization of lobules present | 12 | 8 | NS |
