A Comprehensive Assessment of Radial Scars on Core Needle Biopsy in Patients with or without Breast Cancer: Upgrade Rate and Implications on Management

Despite this, RS still prompted more extensive surgical excisions. The findings do not support excision of RS even among breast cancer patients when identified at a separate site from their cancer.PMID:38402106 | DOI:10.1016/j.clbc.2024.01.020
