Summary
This study looked at whether using a special ultrasound ruler during breast-conserving surgery helps surgeons remove all cancer the first time. Researchers reviewed records from 273 patients who had this ultrasound-guided surgery. The goal was to see if it lowered the rate of incomplete tumor removal that would require a second surgery.
