Summary
A prospective clinical study investigating the use of the Histolog Scanner for intraoperative assessment of surgical margins in patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery for histologically confirmed breast cancer. The Histolog Scanner operates on the principle of confocal microscopy and enables non-destructive evaluation of specimen margins. The specimen will subsequently be sent for standard histopathological assessment; therefore, the use of this method does not pose any risk to the patient, as the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway for breast cancer will not be altered.

Histolog scanner
The aim of the project is a prospective pilot evaluation in a cohort of 20 patients to determine whether the use of the Histolog Scanner may, in the future, reduce the number of reoperations by identifying positive surgical margins already during the initial procedure.The specimen will subsequently be sent for standard histopathological assessment; therefore, the use of this method does not pose any risk to the patient, as the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway for breast cancer will not be altered.
