Title: 217. Does better orientation of the breast cancer specimen reduce re-excision rate after wide local excision?
Abstract: Background: Surgical management of breast cancer may often result in more than one operation to remove the cancer after wide excision. Re-excision of margins after wide excision is offered when the margins are close or involved. The re-excision rates vary between surgeons and units and is a result of a number of factors. Using improved methods to evaluate the excised lesion for completeness allows for reduced rates of re-excision of margins.
