Summary: This study investigated the use of preoperative MWA in guiding BCS for early-stage breast cancer, finding a lower rate of positive margins and a higher rate of accurate surgery in the MWA guidance group compared to the control group. SLNB was successfully performed without impairment. Long-term clinical trials are needed to further validate the use of MWA in guiding breast cancer excision.

Summary: This study evaluated the application of Margin Probe in patients undergoing lumpectomy for breast cancer and found that it has a relatively low sensitivity in detecting positive margins and a high false-positive rate, resulting in unnecessary margin shavings.

Summary: The LUM Imaging System showed robust performance in detecting all breast cancer subtypes during lumpectomy surgery, with stable signal performance regardless of menopausal status and breast density. There was no significant impact on histopathology or receptor evaluation from the use of the LUM015 fluorescent imaging agent. Falsely positive readings were more likely when tumor was present < 2 mm from the adjacent specimen margin.

Summary: This study investigated the application of a handheld QME probe to directly detect residual cancer in the breast cavity during breast-conserving surgery. The results showed that QME detected increased stiffness in four cancer cases, while 19 out of 21 benign cases exhibited low stiffness.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and accuracy of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging for assessing surgical margins in breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery. The results show that ICG-FI has a high negative predictive value for surgical margin assessment, helping surgeons predict clear margins intraoperatively and reducing the need for further analysis during surgery.

Summary: A nomogram was developed and validated to predict the status of breast-conserving margins in patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery. The nomogram, based on multiple indicators, showed good discrimination and calibration in both the modeling and validation groups.

Summary: The optimal surgical approach to hereditary breast cancer and the management of patients carrying mutations in high-penetrance genes are significant current clinical and scientific issues. Studies have shown that breast-conserving surgery is oncologically safe in BRCA carriers in terms of overall survival, despite an increased risk of ipsilateral recurrence.

Summary: This retrospective study examined patients diagnosed with breast cancer through Mammotome biopsy and treated with surgery at the center. Results showed that Mammotome biopsy may lead to hematoma and tumor residual, but does not affect the choice of surgery; Breast-conserving surgery is feasible through complete excision of tumor residual to achieve negative margins.

Summary: The study demonstrated the effectiveness of CDP in real-time detection of breast cavity side margins, showing a sensitivity of 91% in scoring these margins. It has the potential to achieve clear margins in neoadjuvant breast cancer cases after breast-conserving surgery.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of Korean women with early breast cancer undergoing breast-conserving surgery plus radiotherapy or total mastectomy. Findings showed that the breast-conserving surgery plus radiotherapy group had better overall survival and breast cancer-specific survival than the total mastectomy group in both the Korean Breast Cancer Registry and Asan Medical Center cohorts. The results suggest that breast-conserving surgery plus radiotherapy is at least equivalent to total mastectomy in terms of overall survival and may influence treatment decisions for early breast cancer patients.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility of using automated three-dimensional breast ultrasound (ABUS) for ultrasound evaluation of surgical specimens in breast-conserving therapy. The results showed that ABUS is a suitable method for conducting specimen ultrasound, with high quality images. However, tumor sizes measured with ABUS were larger than those measured with handheld ultrasound (HHUS).

Summary: The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for refusal of radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery. The study found that patients with old age, low income, divorce, white race, advanced stage, and no chemotherapy were more likely to refuse radiotherapy.

Summary: Repeat breast-conserving surgery (RBCS) has a higher secondary local recurrence rate compared to salvage mastectomy (SM) for patients with ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence (IBTR), but it does not significantly affect survival rates. RBCS may be considered as an alternative method for IBTR patients after breast-conserving surgery (BCS).

Summary: The study compared the distribution of different molecular subtypes of invasive breast cancer between core needle biopsy (CB) and surgical specimens (SS) and concluded that CB is a reliable method for determining the molecular subtype of invasive breast cancer with good statistical agreement between CB and SS.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the postoperative recovery and complication incidence between a periareolar incision combined with SMALND and traditional inflated MALND. The study found that periareolar incision combined with SMALND resulted in shorter postoperative recovery time and less intraoperative hemorrhage volume, without an increase in the incidence of postoperative upper limb edema and paresthesia.
