P101. Is no tumour at the inked margin sufficient in patients undergoing breast conservation surgery?

Abstract

Introduction: There are no large trials with adequate follow-up, investigating the appropriate excision margin, in patients undergoing breast conservation surgery (BCS). Many centres in UK accept no tumour at the inked margin. Aim of our study was to identify the incidence of residual tumour on re-excision specimens in patients with tumour at the inked margin compared to those with no tumour at the inked margin.
