Abstract
Post-excision pre-irradiation mammography (PPM) has been performed in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or early stage breast cancer after lumpectomy, although its routine use in the pre-irradiation setting has not been obligatory. The current study was undertaken to determine the value of performing routine PPM as an addition to the requisite specimen radiograph. We set out to evaluate whether PPM was able to identify residual disease, suspicious calcifications missed on prior mammograms and/or residual microcalcifications that were not excised.
