Digital breast tomosynthesis versus X-ray of the breast specimen for intraoperative margin assessment: A randomized trial

CONCLUSIONS: No difference was found in the number of re-operations or in diagnostic accuracy to predict histopathological margin status between DBT and X-ray groups. DCIS outside the tumor showed the highest risk of re-operation. Intraoperative methods with improved visualization of DCIS are needed to obtain tumor free margins in BCS.PMID:38064928 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2023.103616
