[Histological margin and residual disease assessment for breast carcinoma]. / Evaluation des limites d'exérèse chirurgicale en pathologie mammaire. Risque de maladie résiduelle.

ABSTRACT

Margin and histological size of ductal in situ carcinoma or intraductal component of an infiltrative carcinoma are important prognostic factors to predict presence/absence as well as amount of residual tumor burden. Their evaluation requires standardized pathological analysis. These factors should be interpreted in clinical and radiological context.
