Preoperative and intraoperative predictors of positive margins after breast-conserving surgery: a retrospective review

Abstract: In the era of preoperative diagnosis of breast cancer with core biopsy, several pre- and intraoperative predictors of positive margins are identified that can aid the surgeon in surgical planning.

“…17,18 Tumour factors that have been shown to increase re-excision rates include patient age, presence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), large size of invasive or in situ component, high grade, lobular phenotype and multifocality. 10,12,[19][20][21] Surprisingly, a recently published study of all National Health Service centres in England found the re-operation rate was not associated with volume of activity. 22 In 2009, BreastScreen WA performed 91 319 screening mammograms and identified 579 cancers.…”

“…Localized breast tumors are typically managed by breast-conserving surgery (BCS) combined with adjuvant radiotherapy, which provides comparable survival outcomes to traditional mastectomy [1,2], whilst providing a better cosmetic result. However, if histopathology of the resected specimen reveals tumor extending to the surgical margin, the so-called positive margin, then further resection is advised until a clear margin is obtained, since margin positivity is an important risk factor for recurrent disease [1]. Re-operation for positive tumor margin status can result in a poor cosmetic outcome, increased patient anxiety, delayed adjuvant therapy and increased treatment costs [1,2].…”
