Abstract
In Switzerland, breast cancer is the leading cancer among women, with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) being the preferred treatment for small tumors. The margin status post-surgery is a critical predictor of local recurrence. Achieving negative margins remains a challenge, leading to re-excision in 20-30% of cases. Traditional methods like intraoperative examination palpation and radiography have limitations in assessing excised margins. This study introduces the Histolog <sup>®</sup> Scanner, a confocal microscopy tool, as a potential solution. It provides real-time images of tissue architecture, allowing for rapid and accurate assessment of excised margins. Our research compared the Histolog <sup>®</sup> Scanner with standard per-operative radiography in patients with non palpable breast cancer. Preliminary results indicate that the Histolog <sup>®</sup> Scanner offers a reliable and time-efficient method for margin assessment, suggesting its potential for clinical integration.
