Danielle Fishel has been diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which is a very early stage (Stage 0) of breast cancer. It is a non-invasive breast cancer where cancerous cells are found in the milk ducts but have not spread to nearby breast tissue. Her diagnosis is specifically described as "high- grade DCIS with microinvasion," meaning that there was some minimal invasion beyond the milk ducts, technically classifying it as stage 1 cancer. She has undergone surgery (lumpectomy) and radiation therapy and will begin hormone therapy to reduce the chance of recurrence. This diagnosis was discovered through a routine mammogram, and Fishel has emphasized the importance of regular screenings for early detection.
