Tumor bed cavity shaving
feasible in centers lacking intraoperative pathological facilities. * Time saving (significantly reduces the overall operative time). * cost-effectiveness. * Technically simple (Easy to perform without the need for specialized equipment or advanced facilities). * it represents a suitable option in low- to medium-socioeconomic settings, where resources and advanced intraoperative support may be limited. * It is expected to demonstrate comparable oncological safety to Intraoperative Frozen Section Analysis (FSA) in achieving margin negativity with Significant reduction anticipated in Positive margin rates\&Re-excision frequency\&Operative duration and Overall procedural cost.
