“…The adoption of an extensive breast resection (quadrantectomy) as a standard procedure in breast conserving surgery keeps the incidence of positive surgical margins to very low rates. Moreover, data from different studies show that margin positivity does not influence the rate of local recurrences if effective radiotherapy is delivered [46][47]. We had six cases with positive margins (two with in situ neoplasia) and 48 cases with cancer "close to the margins" that were not re-resected.…”

“…We perform a wide local excision which is just short of a quadrantectomy as this offers a better chance of attaining a negative margin. It has been proven by the Milan 2 trial [6] that wide local excision or quadrantectomy can achieve a statistically significant better local control than a limited conservative procedure such as lumpectomy. Frozen section was used to ascertain the negativity of the margins in most patients.…”

Breast conservation surgery (BCS) is the standard of care in early breast cancer. The oncological safety of this procedure has been proven beyond doubt in several randomised control trials. But there are concerns regarding the safety of this procedure in young females. The concern is regarding increased risk of local recurrence. This issue has not been addressed in any major trial. In this prospective study we intend to look into the oncological safety of BCS in young patients who are less than forty years of age.

“…Details of repeat MRI findings are displayed in Appendix 15 (Clinical significance of < 5-mm MRI-only-detected lesions: repeat MRI findings) for those patients who underwent a repeat scan. Median time from randomisation to repeat MR scan was 15 months (range [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Median time from starting adjuvant radiotherapy to repeat scan was 13 months (range 4-17) for the 12 patients who received radiotherapy.…”

“…Important excluding factors include: lesions greater than 4 cm in diameter; multifocal or multicentric disease; an extensive in situ component; widespread lymphovascular invasion on biopsy; and centrally placed tumours in small breasts. The Milan II trial, 8 which compared quadrantectomy versus WLE, both followed by radiotherapy, demonstrated that although cosmesis was improved in the WLE group, this was at the expense of a marked increase in loco-regional recurrence (18.6% versus 7.4% 10-year crude cumulative incidence) due to increased incidence of positive excision margins (16% versus 4% in the quadrantectomy group).…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are ...
