Evaluation of Breast Cancer Surgical Margins Using Optical Spectroscopy

January 28, 2016 updated by: University of Wisconsin, Madison

A Pilot Study of Intraoperative Margin Assessment Comparing Optical Spectroscopy and Frozen Section Analysis for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast

This study will apply optical spectroscopy to intraoperative margin assessment during surgery for breast cancer. We hypothesize that a combination of fluorescence spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy will reliably detect involved surgical margins. Twenty patients with ductal carcinoma in-situ will undergo a standard lumpectomy followed by scanning with a sterile optical spectroscopy probe. Frozen sections from the surgical cavity will be used to evaluate the margins. Optical spectroscopy data will be categorized as benign or malignant using a statistical algorithm and the results will be compared with the frozen and permanent section results.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
The goal of this research is to develop a minimally invasive technology with the capability of rapidly assessing surgical margins for breast cancer patients undergoing breast conserving therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Two potential benefits from developing this technology are:
1. Decreasing operative times by eliminating the need to wait for histologic margin assessment.
2 Intraoperative margin assessment will become available for surgeons performing breast conserving therapy in facilities in-house pathologists.
