Real-Time Assessment Of Breast Cancer Lumpectomy Specimen Margins With Nonlinear Microscopy

Following standard lumpectomy excision, excised tissue will be imaged with NLM. If invasive cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is detected on or close to the margin, additional excision may be performed. Following surgery, final margins will be evaluated using paraffin embedded histopathology as per standard procedure. Paraffin embedded histopathology will be used to make a final margin determination.
