Is Specimen Tomosynthesis the Most Effective Strategy to Reduce Re-excisions for Breast Cancer?
In a study published in the Annals of Surgical Oncology in April 2019, Digital Breast Tomosynthesis for Intraoperative Margin Assessment during Breast-Conserving Surgery, Ko Un Park MD and collaborators at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston Texas determined the ability of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to detect positive margins compared with an institution’s standard extensive processing (SEP).
