Overview

NCI Definition: A malignant epithelial neoplasm which is confined to the epithelial layer without evidence of further tissue invasion. [1]

Carcinoma in situs most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, PIK3CA, KRAS, ESR1, and EGFR [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Carcinoma In Situ

TP53 Mutation, PIK3CA Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, and PIK3CA Codon 1047 Missense are the most common alterations in carcinoma in situ [2].
