A modified sentinel node and occult lesion localization (SNOLL) technique in non-palpable breast cancer. A pilot study [PDF]
, 2015 Background: The spread of mammographic screening programs has allowed an increasing amount of early breast cancer diagnosis. A modern approach to non-palpable breast lesions requires an accurate intraoperative localization, in order to achieve a ...

Excisional treatment in women with cervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS): a prospective randomised controlled noninferiority trial to compare AIS persistence/recurrence after loop electrosurgical excision procedure with cold knife cone biopsy: protocol for a pilot study [PDF]
, 2017 Introduction: Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the uterine cervix is the precursor to invasive endocervical adenocarcinoma. An excisional biopsy such as a cold knife cone biopsy (CKC) should be performed to exclude invasive adenocarcinoma.

Effects of lesion size, shape, and resection amount on the final length of the scar in staged excision: An animal experiment in pigs [PDF]
Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2020 Background In staged excision procedures, it is difficult to estimate the number of excisions that will be required and the extent of scar lengthening. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the size, shape, and resection amount of ...

Fast label-free multilayered histology-like imaging of human breast cancer by photoacoustic microscopy [PDF]
, 2017 The goal of breast-conserving surgery is to completely remove all of the cancer. Currently, no intraoperative tools can microscopically analyze the entire lumpectomy specimen, which results in 20 to 60% of patients undergoing second surgeries to achieve ...
