U.S., Feb. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07426809) titled 'Margin Optimisation Using Z-axis Assessment With Real-time Tomosynthesis (MOZART Study).' on Feb. 16.
Brief Summary: Breast-conserving surgery is commonly performed to remove early-stage breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). During surgery, the goal is to completely remove the tumour with a clear margin of normal tissue around it. If cancer cells are found at the edge of the removed tissue (a "positive margin"), patients may need a second operation (re-excision).

To help assess margins during surgery, surgeons use specimen ...
