Embodiment Construction
[0039]Existing surgical margin assessment techniques focus on ex vivo samples to determine whether the surgical margin includes residual cancer cells. These techniques are limited by their inability to accurately spatially co-localize positive edges detected on ex vivo samples to the surgical bed, and the present disclosure overcomes this limitation by directly imaging the surgical cavity.
[0040] Other non-targeted techniques for reducing re-removal include studies combining non-targeted margins with standard-of-care BCS. While this technique may reduce the overall number of re-removals, the method includes several potential disadvantages. For example, larger resections are associated with poorer cosmetic outcomes, and non-targeted removal of extra tissue contradicts the intent of BCS. Furthermore, the end result of using such a technique appears to be in conflict with the recently updated ASTRO / SSO guidelines, which define a positive margin as "tumor at the ink" and do not...
