Name Time Method <p>Reduction of irradical lumpectomies<br /><br>The primary goal of additional preoperative imaging and discussion is to reduce<br /><br>the rate of irradical lumpectomies. The histology reports of the specimen will<br /><br>be the reference standard. Assessment of irradicallity will be judged according<br /><br>to national guidelines. The percentage of lumpectomy specimens with positive<br /><br>margins will be documented and compared to that in the historical control<br /><br>group.</p><br>
