There was a woman with DCIS stage 0. She opted for a minimally invasive treatment. The medical team was very experienced. They removed the affected tissue precisely. She then followed a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise. Thanks to the early detection and effective treatment, she is now living a normal and healthy life. She even participates in breast cancer awareness campaigns to encourage other women to get screened regularly.
