About Carcinoma In Situ

Carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a pre-invasive stage of cancer where abnormal cells are present but have not yet spread beyond their original tissue layer. An oncologist manages this condition, which is considered stage 0 cancer. The primary goal is complete removal or destruction of these cells to prevent progression to invasive carcinoma. Diagnosis typically involves a biopsy, such as a colposcopy for cervical CIS or an excision for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast. Treatment is highly effective and often curative, involving procedures like surgical excision, cryotherapy, laser ablation, or topical medications, depending on the location. Regular follow-up is crucial to monitor for recurrence. Early detection and treatment of CIS offer an excellent prognosis and are a cornerstone of cancer prevention.

Key Highlights

    Highly effective in preventing the progression to invasive cancer.Considered a stage 0 cancer with an excellent prognosis when treated.Often involves minimally invasive procedures with local anesthesia.Targets and removes only the abnormal cells, preserving healthy tissue.Serves as a critical component of early cancer detection and prevention strategies.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Diagnosis of abnormal, pre-cancerous cells confined to the epithelium (e.g., Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia CIN III, Ductal Carcinoma In Situ DCIS).
  • Following an abnormal screening test result, such as a Pap smear or mammogram.
  • Presence of a visible lesion identified during a clinical examination (e.g., in the skin, bladder, or oral cavity).
  • To obtain a definitive tissue diagnosis after a suspicious biopsy.
  • As a preventive measure for high-risk individuals with known pre-cancerous conditions.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough medical history review and physical examination with your oncologist.
  • Undergo necessary diagnostic tests (e.g., imaging, biopsy) to confirm the diagnosis and extent of CIS.
  • Discuss all current medications, especially blood thinners, which may need to be paused.
  • Follow pre-procedure fasting instructions if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.
  • Arrange for transportation home post-procedure, as you may not be fit to drive.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding or hematoma at the treatment site.
  • Infection requiring antibiotics.
  • Pain, discomfort, or scarring at the procedure site.
  • Incomplete removal of abnormal cells, necessitating a repeat procedure.
  • Rarely, damage to surrounding tissues or organs depending on the location.
  • Reaction to anesthesia (if used).
  • Recurrence of carcinoma in situ or progression to invasive cancer if not fully eradicated.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Most procedures are outpatient, allowing you to return home the same day.
  • Manage mild pain or discomfort with over-the-counter pain relievers as recommended by your doctor.
  • Keep the treatment site clean and dry; follow specific wound care instructions.
  • Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, or sexual intercourse (for gynecological procedures) for the period advised by your oncologist.
  • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for monitoring and to check for recurrence.
  • Report any signs of infection (fever, increased redness, swelling, or pus) to your doctor immediately.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (Typically outpatient)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-14 days

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a few doctors...

I'd been to a few doctors for this persistent stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Jayaraman was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue, not just 'stress.' He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I felt heard for the first time.
