CSM: cavity shave margin; PM: partial mastectomy. a,b,d,gThe overall final shave margin status was histologically negative in said amount of patients with histologically positive lumpectomy margins; therefore, areexcision was avoided in these patients. cReexcision rate in PM group 38.7% versus 17.7% in CSM group. eReexcision rate in PM group 12.5% versus 5.58% in CSM group. fReexcision rate in PM group 85.1% versus 57.2% in CSM group. |
