Novel Cavity Marking Technique in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Breast Conservation Surgery With Oncoplastic Reconstruction for the Delivery of Adjuvant Radiotherapy and Accuracy of Recommended Re-excisions (NCT06903468)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿฉบ Clinical Procedure Protocol Sponsor: University of Florida

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study will investigate a novel approach to marking surgical cavity margins following tumor resection, to allow for more accurate radiotherapy following oncoplastic surgery. Our proposed cavity marking schema will allow radiation oncology to identify the cavity margins more accurately on CT simulation for radiation planning and delivery. This cavity marking schema also provides more accurate margin identification in patients recommended for re-excision of close or positive margins.
