“…Furthermore, the presence of positive margins, which can be up to 30% , generally leads to further surgical resections with associated morbidity, resource utilization, anxiety, and delay. Optical biopsies have been recently used to potentially replace the current assessments where a pathologist examines the rim of normal tissue around the cancer to confirm it is clear of any cancer cells as the current pathological assessment remains time consuming and labor intensive and is not readily transferable to routine practice .…”

“…Several pilot studies have explored the application of OCT to breast cancer imaging, including preclinical animal studies [17,18], human tissue imaging [19,20], and intraoperative imaging [21]. Currently a handheld OCT probe is being evaluated for in vivo margin assessment which allows tissue within the surgical cavity to be imaged prior to resection [22,23]. Other OCT techniques can also be used for breast imaging, including fullfield OCT for margin assessment [24], and OCT needle probes for biopsy assessment [25][26][27].…”

“…Additionally, a handheld OCT scanner [72] for intra-operatively assessing margins in excised breast tumor samples is currently being commercialized by Diagnostic Photonics, Inc. [73]. This scanner is also capable of assessing tissue within the excision cavity after tumor removal.…”
