Gross Evaluation of Breast Carcinomas Post–Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Without Radio-opaque Clip Insertion: An Alternative Option

The average cost of sample I was 33% of that of sample II and helped calculate the residual cancer burden with similar accuracy. However, in HER2-positive cases, pCR may be overestimated. Hence, we recommend sampling slices adjacent to the selected tumor slice. Further study using this method is essential due to its limited sample size and single-center design before considering implementation in the general population.
