Correlation Between Margin Status and Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrence in Patients With Breast Cancer Undergoing Breast-Conserving Surgery With Whole-Breast Radiation Therapy
IBTR rates were higher in close and positive margin groups under the 120-degree definition, particularly when superficial and deep margins were excluded. Although positive margins did not always show the highest recurrence, margin status still influenced IBTR risk. Re-excision should be individualized based on imaging, pathology, and clinical judgment.
