ABSTRACT
Objective: To know the factors associated with positive surgical edges in breast cancer
patients treated with conservative surgery.
Materials and Methods: Descriptive-observational, comparative, retrospective
and cross-sectional study, performed between January 1, 2018 and April 30, 2019 at
the Unidad Médica de Alta Especialidad Hospital de Ginecoobstetricia 4 Luis Castelazo
Ayala. Inclusion criteria: patients diagnosed with breast cancer operated with conservative
surgery and with complete histopathological and immunohistochemical report.
Exclusion criteria: patients with breast cancer treated outside the unit, with other types
of neoplasms (lymphomas, sarcomas) and in advanced clinical stage or neoadjuvant
treatment. Elimination criteria: patients with incomplete histopathological report and
without clinical records in the unit. The statistical analysis was processed in SPSS
version 25. The bivariate analysis studied the relationship between the variables by
means of the 2's test. For all tests, values ‹ 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: 153 cases were analyzed; of these 11 were patients with a positive surgical
edge in the definitive report, corresponding to 7.18% of the total number of breastconserving
surgeries performed in the study period. These patients required another
surgical intervention, 6 of them in margin enlargement and the remaining 5 in total
mastectomy. There was a statistically significant relationship between non-palpable
lesions and positive surgical margin (p ‹ 0.003). Of the rest of the variables studied,
no relationship with statistical significance was found.
Conclusions: The factors associated with positive margins were size 11 to 20
mm in 45.4%, age 58 ± 11.9 years in 72.7%, multifocality in 63.6%, lymphovascular
invasion in 63.6%, ductal carcinoma subtype in 72.7%, histologic grade 2 in 72.7%,
luminal molecular classification A with 72.7% and nonpalpable lesion with 54.5%.
