Our results suggest that even in the absence of 'no ink on tumor', the cancer size and grade in lumpectomy specimens are high-risk factors for residual disease, and this subgroup of patients may benefit from re-excision. Long-term follow-up of this cohort is required to determine their risk of recurrence after adjuvant treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
