The effect of introducing an in-theatre intra-operative specimen radiography (IOSR) system on the management of palpable breast cancer within a single unit

Abstract: Introduction of IOSR significantly reduced specimen weights without increasing re-excision rates. As volume of breast tissue removed is the most significant determinant of cosmetic outcome following breast-conserving surgery, the use of IOSR should be advocated in the surgical management of palpable breast cancer.
