Risk of invasion associated positively with -
increased cluster size
Increasing DCIS Grade
Allows risk of invasion to be objectively estimated pre-operatively, and therefore an informed decision made about whether SLNB should be performed at the same time as definitive surgery

The main effect of CAD acting as an arbitrator of discordant double-reading opinions is to increase
the recall rate, significantly above what is found when arbitration is performed by an independent third reader. Using CAD as an arbitrator may be an option to deal with discordant double-reading opinions when no other method of consensus or arbitration is available
