Non-invasive breast carcinoma is considered to be localized disease and is distinguished from invasive ductal and lobular carcinomas. The local recurrence of non-invasive carcinoma after surgery may lead to development of invasive carcinoma and promote distant metastasis, which worsens the prognosis for breast cancer mortality. The distant metastasis of non-invasive carcinoma may involve the ductal microvasculature without invasion. The outcomes of non-invasive breast carcinoma were examined in this retrospective cohort study.Of 872 primary breast cancers diagnosed at a single center between May 2008 and March 2022, 93 (10.6%) were found to be non-invasive carcinomas and were examined in this study. The breast cancer recurrence and survival rates of patients with non-invasive carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively. The median follow-up period was 1891 (range, 5-4804) days. All patients underwent surgical treatment [mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and partial mastectomy with or without SLNB, tumorectomy, and microdochectomy]. Postoperatively, radiation therapy was administered to 73 (78.4%) of the patients and endocrine therapy was administered to 64 (81.0%) of 79 patients with hormone-receptor positivity. Of 26 patients who underwent partial mastectomy with SLNB, 24 (92.3%) showed isolated tumor cells in the SLNs on one-step nucleic acid amplification. Local recurrence was observed in three (0.3%) patients; no distant metastasis was observed. One patient died of a noncancerous disease. The overall survival rate was 98.0% and the breast cancer-specific survival rate was 100.0%.Non-invasive breast carcinoma, like invasive breast carcinoma, causes local recurrence, but has a good prognosis without distant metastasis. The clinical significance of isolated tumor cells in the SLNs as a systemic component of non-invasive breast carcinoma remains to be elucidated.
