However, its impact on chest wall recurrence in patients treated with mastectomy is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine chest wall recurrence rates in women with DCIS and close (5 cm or diffuse disease. Median width of the close final margin was 2 mm. Nineteen patients had margins of
