Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) to Improve Assessment of Resection Margins in Invasive Breast Cancer

Summary

The challenge of breast conserving surgery (BCS) is to obtain free resection margins, by removing the invasive tumor and the precursor cells: DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in Situ). Consequently, 17%-25% of primary invasive breast cancer patients will need a repeat surgery. Repeat breast surgery has been associated with higher surgical risks, poorer cosmetic outcome and increased psychological and economic burden. Finding a precise method to obtain tumor- and DCIS-free resection margins during BCS is therefore strongly needed.

The purpose with this study is to investigate if the need for a re-operation can be reduced by performing Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) of the resected tumor margins compared to the currently used standard X-ray during BCS.
