Safe Negative Margin Width in Breast Conservative Therapy: Results from a Population with a High Percentage of Negative Prognostic Factors

Abstract: A negative margin width of 2 mm might represent an adequate negative margin width in the Pakistani population undergoing breast conservative therapy.

“…The explanation for this observation is multifactorial, including careful evaluation of the margins, use of more personalized and accurate radiotherapy in the tumor bed, and more patients receiving systemic therapy. [6][7][8] The use of new combinations of systemic adjuvant therapies and the use of trastuzumab may have resulted in an additional improvement in local control, especially in young patients. 9 In a population-based study, Voogd et al 10 evaluated the risk trends for local recurrence and the impact of local or distance recurrence on disease-free survival in patients with primary breast cancer aged <40 years.…”

“…Factors that influence local recurrence include patient age, tumor stage, tumor grade, lymphovascular invasion, molecular subtype, and positive surgical margins. 6 , 33 37 Positive surgical margin has been demonstrated to be the most important and preventable factor associated with recurrence of operable breast cancers. 6 , 35 , 37 Methods that show promise for minimizing the rate of positive margin involvement 10 include margin index, nomograms, intraoperative ultrasound-guided resection, wire-guided localization, radioactive seed localization, standardize cavity shaving, frozen section analysis, and MRI.…”

“…As seen, tissue spatial heterogeneity results in mis-alignments on the order of 1.0–1.5 mm in some regions. This may be significant, and for example exceeds the tolerance level in resection margins for routine breast cancer procedures 41, 42 . Therefore, the previous implementation of our approach 18 could lead to false positives (potentially resulting in unnecessary resection of healthy tissue) or false negatives (potentially resulting in cancer recurrence due to incomplete removal of viable cancer cells).…”
