What Is Stage 0 Breast Cancer?

Does Stage 0 Breast Cancer Spread?

Lobular carcinoma in situ typically does not spread to other parts of the body. Nevertheless, frequent monitoring is very important because this form of stage 0 breast cancer is still a major risk factor for further stages. Healthcare providers cannot know exactly which presentations of ductal carcinoma in situ would become more invasive and spread to other areas. Nevertheless, low-grade tumors or tumors with slow growth and well-defined borders, would be at a lower risk of becoming aggressive. [4]
