Abstract: |
Introduction Margin status is an important prognostic factor for local recurrence after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with breast malignancy. It is unclear whether the removal of additional tumor cavity margins reduces the reoperation rate and is cosmetically acceptable. This study compares the reoperation rates, volume of breast excised in cm3, and number of pathology slides examined in two groups of patients who underwent BCS with or without four or five additional margins (BCS + M). |
