Abstract

This study presents the results of a survey to radiation oncologists in North America and Europe regarding their perception of negative and close margins after lumpectomy in patients with early breast cancer. It revealed significant variation in the definition of negative/close margins. Given these findings, a universal definition of negative margins and consistent recommendations for reexcision are needed.
