DOI: 10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2018.03.003
Abstract: BACKGROUND Positive margins have been reported in 20% to 40% of patients undergoing a partial mastectomy, often resulting in re-excision. How often the re-excision yields additional cancer and whether there are predictors of residual disease… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.sabcs16-p1-11-08
Abstract: Background: Negative margins are important in decreasing risk of local recurrence after breast conservation surgery. Further, positive margins on final pathology require a second operation, burdening patients and increasing costs. We identified factors predicting positive… read more here.
