Abstract

PURPOSE: One in five women who undergo breast conserving surgery will need a second revision surgery due to remaining tumor. The iKnife is a mass spectrometry modality that produces real-time margin information based on the metabolite signatures in surgical smoke. Using this modality and real-time tissue classification, surgeons could remove all cancerous tissue during the initial surgery, improving many facets of patient outcomes. An obstacle in developing a iKnife breast cancer recognition model is the destructive, time-consuming and sensitive nature of the data collection that limits the size of the datasets.
