Core Tip

Core Tip: This retrospective study analyzed ultrasound, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and biopsy data from enrolled patients and developed a nomogram model to forecast the success of breast-conserving surgery (BCS). This study revealed that estrogen receptor-positive status, mammography tumor type, maximum intensity projection imaging feature, and MRI tumor type were four variables capable of predicting negative margins and influencing the outcome of BCS. The results underwent internal validation and were additionally corroborated via calibration curves, indicating a robust correlation between predicted and actual surgical success rates. Overall, this study offers valuable data for assessing the success of BCS in the preoperative phase.
