Overview

Implementation of confocal microscopy improves surgical accuracy in breast cancer procedures, reducing re-excision risks.

Key Points

  • Intraoperative use of the Histolog Scanner eliminated re-excision in all observed cases, demonstrating its effectiveness.
  • The trained surgeon achieved sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 96.3%, indicating high diagnostic accuracy.
  • Retrospective analysis of 68 patients over two years showcased the successful integration of real-time imaging into routine practice.
  • Employing confocal microscopy during breast-conserving surgery may significantly reduce the need for additional surgical interventions.
