“…The adoption of an extensive breast resection (quadrantectomy) as a standard procedure in breast conserving surgery keeps the incidence of positive surgical margins to very low rates. Moreover, data from different studies show that margin positivity does not influence the rate of local recurrences if effective radiotherapy is delivered [46][47]. We had six cases with positive margins (two with in situ neoplasia) and 48 cases with cancer "close to the margins" that were not re-resected.…”

“…We perform a wide local excision which is just short of a quadrantectomy as this offers a better chance of attaining a negative margin. It has been proven by the Milan 2 trial [6] that wide local excision or quadrantectomy can achieve a statistically significant better local control than a limited conservative procedure such as lumpectomy. Frozen section was used to ascertain the negativity of the margins in most patients.…”

“…Details of repeat MRI findings are displayed in Appendix 15 (Clinical significance of < 5-mm MRI-only-detected lesions: repeat MRI findings) for those patients who underwent a repeat scan. Median time from randomisation to repeat MR scan was 15 months (range [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Median time from starting adjuvant radiotherapy to repeat scan was 13 months (range 4-17) for the 12 patients who received radiotherapy.…”

“…Important excluding factors include: lesions greater than 4 cm in diameter; multifocal or multicentric disease; an extensive in situ component; widespread lymphovascular invasion on biopsy; and centrally placed tumours in small breasts. The Milan II trial, 8 which compared quadrantectomy versus WLE, both followed by radiotherapy, demonstrated that although cosmesis was improved in the WLE group, this was at the expense of a marked increase in loco-regional recurrence (18.6% versus 7.4% 10-year crude cumulative incidence) due to increased incidence of positive excision margins (16% versus 4% in the quadrantectomy group).…”
