* Time at risk started 5 years after ductal carcinoma in situ diagnosis. Patients were censored at diagnosis of a second neoplasia treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy above the diaphragm or date of emigration.

AER = absolute excess risk per 10000 patients per year; CI = confidence interval; DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ; O = observed; SMR = standardized mortality ratio.
