RR relative risk, 95 % CI 95 % confidence interval

a

Ipsilateral breast tumors were defined as local recurrence of DCIS or invasive carcinoma in the ipsilateral breast that was diagnosed at least 6 months after the first DCIS

b

Patients who had been treated with mastectomy for their first DCIS (n = 27,680) were excluded

c

Relative risks were adjusted for age (20–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, or 70–84 years) and year of the first DCIS diagnosis (1988–1989, 1990–1994, 1995–1999, 2000–2004, or 2005–2009), registry, treatment for the first DCIS (no surgical treatment, breast-conserving surgery alone, or breast-conserving surgery plus radiation therapy) and histopathological features including tumor size (<2 cm, 2–5 cm, ≥5 cm, or unknown), grade (well differentiated, moderately differentiated, poorly differentiated, or unknown), and histology (comedo, papillary, cribriform, solid, or NOS)
