Abstract P3-13-09: Increased mortality with repeat lumpectomy alone after ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence: A propensity-adjusted, population-based SEER analysis
Abstract:Background: The benefit of repeat lumpectomy for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after breast conserving surgery (BCS) is currently inconclusive. This issue has become even more important as small and isolated recurrent tumors were frequently diagnosed.
