Abstract
Local recurrence after conservative surgery for breast cancer usually results from growth of residual cancer adjacent to the excised primary tumour or from multicentric disease. Complete local excision (CLE) confirmed histologically is essential to ensure that the risk of local recurrence is minimal. This study was undertaken to determine that clinical or radiological factors may assist the surgeon at the time of surgery to achieve this aim.Keywords
