Lancet 366:2087–2106 Nell’impiego della chirurgia conservativa della mammella è auspicabile assicurare un margine di resezione negativo. Casi in cui il margine è positivo dovrebbero essere sottoposti a un ulteriore trattamento chirurgico: • una riresezione per assicurare dei margini negativi • una mastectomia. Se la riresezione è possibile questa va eseguita coinvolgendo il margine risultato positivo e guidati dall’orientamento del pezzo della resezione primitiva, ovvero la riresezione deve interessare l’intera cavità escissionale. Se i margini positivi sono multipli potrebbe essere richiesta la mastectomia per un controllo locale ottimale. Potrebbe essere ragionevole non reintervenire in casi selezionati di terapia conservativa della mammella che presentino un margine solo focalmente positivo alla microscopia ed in assenza di estesa componente intraduttale. Per questi pazienti potrebbe essere preso in considerazione un più alto boost di radiazioni del letto tumorale. I margini dovrebbero essere valutati, nella terapia conservativa, sul pezzo chirurgico intero. Una ottimale valutazione dei margini richiede: • Un corretto orientamento spaziale del pezzo • Descrizione macro e microscopica dello stato dei margini • Registrazione orientata delle distanze tra limite del tumore e margine di resezione e tipo di tumore (invasivo o DCIS). * Kurtz JM, Jacquemier J, Amalric R, Brandone H, Ayme Y, Hans D et al (1990) Risk factors for breast recurrence in premenopausal and postmenopausal patients with ductal cancers treated by conservation therapy.
