The continued role of intraoperative assessment of the surgical margins in lumpectomy samples.
Currently, breast conservation therapy that includes removal of the primary tumor of the breast by lumpectomy followed by adjunct radiation is a preferred treatment for majority of breast cancer patients.1,2 This practice, however, requires the ability to obtain negative lumpectomy margins to balance between optimal local control of the tumor and minimal tissue resection.3 Obtaining clear surgical margins are found to be important for local control as positive surgical margins increase local recurrence rate by at least twofold.4– 6 Studies have demonstrated that as positive surgical margins are associated with higher rate of local recurrence and the need for a second return to the operating room for the reexcision of positive margins, measures should be in place to avoid this process. In addition, it is critically important to follow the established national guidelines in respect to the accepted definition of an adequate margin. Based on 2014, and 2016 consensus statements offered by the Society of Surgical Oncology and the American Society of Radiation Oncology, adequate surgical margin is defined as no tumor at ink for invasive breast cancer and a 2mm tumorfree margin adequate for ductal carcinoma in situ.7,8 In order to avoid a second surgery and the associated cost and anxiety to breast cancer patients undergoing lumpectomy, it is important to consider providing an intraoperative assessment of surgical margins. This requires an accurate and costeffective rapid intraoperative technique that would evaluate surgical margins and allow for realtime reexcision to be perform if necessary.9,10 There are two alternatives to provide an intraoperative consultation.

期刊介绍:
The Breast Journal is the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary source devoted exclusively to all facets of research, diagnosis, and treatment of breast disease. The Breast Journal encompasses the latest news and technologies from the many medical specialties concerned with breast disease care in order to address the disease within the context of an integrated breast health care. This editorial philosophy recognizes the special social, sexual, and psychological considerations that distinguish cancer, and breast cancer in particular, from other serious diseases. Topics specifically within the scope of The Breast Journal include:
Risk Factors
Prevention
Early Detection
Diagnosis and Therapy
Psychological Issues
Quality of Life
Biology of Breast Cancer.
