Abstract: The combination of conservative surgery and radiation therapy (CS and RT) is now the local treatment of choice for many women with invasive breast cancer. A number of patient factors, treatment factors, and pathologic factors must be taken into consideration in determining the suitability of this approach for an individual patient. The purpose of this article is to review the morphologic features of the tumor that are important to consider in selecting patients for CS and RT and in assessing their risk of local recurrence.
