Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Achieving adequate surgical margins in breast cancer surgery is crucial for preventing local recurrence. Current methods balance margin clearance with cosmetic outcomes, but future systemic therapies may alter this balance.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Adequate surgical margins are vital for breast-conserving surgery (BCS) to minimize local recurrence.
  • Defining optimal margins remains challenging due to the trade-off between clearance and cosmetic results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current strategies for achieving adequate surgical margins in breast cancer BCS.
  • To discuss advancements in preoperative planning, intraoperative assessment, and novel techniques for margin clearance.

Main Methods:

  • Review of preoperative imaging (mammography, ultrasound, MRI) for resection planning.
  • Discussion of intraoperative techniques like cavity shave biopsies and margin probes.
  • Exploration of ablative and oncoplastic techniques to improve margin status and cosmesis.

Main Results:

  • Preoperative imaging and localization improve resection accuracy.
  • Intraoperative assessment tools aid in achieving complete tumor removal.
  • Oncoplastic surgery offers wider resections with acceptable cosmesis and recurrence rates.

Conclusions:

  • Ongoing advancements in surgical techniques and adjuvant therapies are refining the definition and achievement of adequate margins in BCS.
  • The future role of surgical margins in local control may evolve with improved systemic treatments for breast cancer.
