Figure 2

Computer-generated representation of the resultant breast-conserving surgery (BCS) resection bed cavity and the BCS specimen resulting from a BCS procedure performed on a left breast. In this example, the area of the BCS resection bed cavity has been bisected along its long axis to illustrate the exact spatial location from where the nine standardized re-resection margins were sampled from the superior (S), superior-medial (SM), superior-lateral (SL), medial (M), lateral (L), inferior (I), inferior-medial (IM), inferior-lateral (IL), and deep-posterior (DP) aspects of the BCS resection bed cavity.
