Higher Volume at Time of Breast Conserving Surgery Reduces Re-Excision in DCIS
Figure 1
(a) Schematic for BCS-AM. The segmental excision surgical specimen is removed using wire localization. Additional margins can then be re-excised from each of the six faces of the cavity (anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, medial, and lateral). (b) BCS-AM surgical specimen. The total tissue obtained from the BCS-AM procedure includes the original localized lesion (shown with wire placement), as well as one or more additional margins from the six surfaces.
