Abstract
The elimination of frozen section diagnosis will free the patient from one of the great fears of the current treatment of breast cancer - subjecting herself to biopsy without knowing what the outcome will be. It will free the surgeon from the rigid sequence of frozen section followed by mastectomy and allow him to begin to rationally assign patients with proper criteria to conservative treatment, reserving mastectomy for those who do not meet these criteria.Keywords
