Excerpt

Focusing on reoperations after initial lumpectomy for breast cancer, Valero and colleagues report the end results of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) experience in this issue of the Annals of Surgical Oncology. Reoperations occurred for 114 (22.9%) of 490 patients with stage 1 or 2 breast cancer undergoing lumpectomy at MGH in 2014. The unadjusted reoperation rates among eight surgeons ranged from 16 to 40%. After multivariate risk adjustment, significant differences by individual surgeon persisted. …
