Intra-operative spectroscopic assessment of surgical margins during breast conserving surgeryTools Shipp, Dustin W. and Rakha, Emad A. and Koloydenko, Alexey A. and Macmillan, R. Douglas and Ellis, Ian O. and Notingher, Ioan (2018) Intra-operative spectroscopic assessment of surgical margins during breast conserving surgery. Breast Cancer Research, 20 . p. 69. ISSN 1465-542X Full text not available from this repository.AbstractBackground: In over 20% of breast conserving operations, postoperative pathological assessment of the excised tissue reveals positive margins, requiring additional surgery. Current techniques for intra-operative assessment of tumor margins are insufficient in accuracy or resolution to reliably detect small tumors. There is a distinct need for a fast technique to accurately identify tumors smaller than 1 mm2 in large tissue surfaces within 30 min.
