1131P Intraoperative assessment of negative resection margins in breast-conserving surgery using optical coherence elastography

Abstract

Breast conserving surgery (BCS) has become increasingly accepted as the surgical management of breast cancer in clinical practice. The main goal of BCS is the complete removal of cancer with clear surgical margins. This study demonstrates the results of the diagnostic accuracy of compression optical coherence elastography (C-OCE) method in ex vivo determining of “positive” and “negative” surgery margins in BCS.
