Impact of systematic shaving on tumor margins in breast cancer surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a systematic shaving technique during breast-conserving surgery to reduce positive margins in patients with breast cancer. Patients are randomized into two groups: one receiving the shaving intervention and the other undergoing standard surgery. The primary goal is to compare the outcomes in terms of definitive pathology and the need for additional interventions due to margin issues. This approach seeks to improve surgical outcomes and minimize the likelihood of further surgeries.
