Up to 40% of Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS) patients must undergo repeat surgery because cancer is left behind in the resection cavity. The mobility of the breast resection cavity makes it difficult to localize residual cancer and, therefore, cavity shaving is a common technique for cancer removal. Cavity shaving involves removing an additional layer of tissue from the entire resection cavity, often resulting in unnecessary healthy tissue loss. In this study, we demonstrated a navigation system and open-source software module that facilitates visualization of the breast resection cavity for targeted localization of residual cancer.
