Rapid Assessment of Surgical Bone Margins

Assessment of the Surgical Margins

The local treatment of breast cancer has evolved significantly in the last 100 years. This was based on the notion that the removal of the entire breast and its lymphatic drainage area (axilla) would achieve not only local but also distant disease control. This Halstedian approach changed to modified radical mastectomy (MRM), when a better understanding developed that the treatment failure desp...

Molecular assessment of surgical-resection margins of gastric cancer by mass-spectrometric imaging.

Surgical resection is the main curative option for gastrointestinal cancers. The extent of cancer resection is commonly assessed during surgery by pathologic evaluation of (frozen sections of) the tissue at the resected specimen margin(s) to verify whether cancer is present. We compare this method to an alternative procedure, desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometric imaging (DESI-M...
