Abstract P3-13-10: Minimally-invasive (percutaneous) stereotactic and ultrasound-guided lumpectomy for DCIS and small breast cancers

ConclusionsMinimally-invasive (percutaneous) lumpectomy provides satisfactory management of DCIS and small breast cancers, accomplishing the same goals as open surgery. The specimen is intact so the pathologist can conduct standard histologic analysis of the lesion, distinguishing DCIS, ADH and invasive cancer. Margin analysis is standard. Compared to open surgery, less tissue can be removed because of small lesion size with more precise targeting and resection. Minimally-invasive (percutaneous) lumpectomy reduces morbidity, distress, discomfort and expense associated with overtreatment of small breast cancers.Citation Format: Whitworth PW, Graham C, Schonholz S, Manahan E, Phillips R, Robertson Y, Hardwick MK.
