Abstract
AbstractImprecision in breast conserving surgery results in high rates of take back to theatre for reexcision of margins. This paper reviews the various approaches to improving the precision of oncological margin control in breast conserving surgery. The review describes the rationale for improved tissue characterization over tumor localization and explores technology‐free approaches, as well as progress being made to develop and test innovative technological solutions.
