Table 2.

Molecular characteristics among women with a primary DCIS who later developed either an invasive cancer or an in situ recurrence. Women with a known recurrence were recruited from two source populations: a population based cohort (U/V cohort, n = 458) and a randomized study (SweDCIS, n = 1,046).

**We used the classification for basal-like DCIS published by Livasy et al., 2007 [22], and also used in an earlier paper by us [37].
