Absolutely no one is getting a bilateral mastectomy or chemotherapy for DCIS.

This is by far the most inaccurate medical claim I've ever seen on HN. Where on earth did you get this from?

The whole point of diagnosing DCIS on screening mammography is that it avoids systemic therapy and mastectomy. It also wouldn't be bilateral.

Yes, they do. I have a friend who did just that. Was it justified? I don't know, but it's very real.
