Over 50,000 women will be diagnosed with DCIS this year.
COMET stands for Comparison of Operative to Monitoring and Endocrine Therapy (COMET). The COMET Study will help researchers learn more about low-risk DCIS.
The goal is to learn if women with low-risk DCIS can avoid aggressive treatments and their physical and/or emotional side effects.
Clinical trials allow access to new investigational treatments and accelerate improvements in medical discoveries for the future.
Patients who participate in clinical trials often report that it is a positive experience.
Clinical trials are designed to ensure that participants' rights and welfare are safeguarded, and that the risks to participation are minimized.

My doctor told me about the COMET Study.
Making decisions about DCIS can be challenging — you are not alone.
