Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between histologic grade and estrogen receptor (ER) status in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) patients who have positive surgical margins after breast-conserving surgery (BCS).
- A total of 615 female patients were reviewed, with findings showing that larger tumor size is a key risk factor for positive margins, while negative ER status also significantly correlates with this outcome.
- The results suggest that understanding these factors can guide changes in surgical practices to lower the risk of positive margins, especially in patients with large, ER-negative DCIS.
