1.	Breast Neoplasms (Breast Cancer) 12/01/2011 - "This clinical issue may become more common as the incidence of second primary ipsilateral breast cancer would be expected to increase due to widespread adoption of breast-conserving surgery, improved prognosis for patients with an initial early-stage breast cancer, and highly sensitive screening modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging." 10/01/2005 - "Breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy is firmly established as a good and safe option for most women with early breast cancer. " 09/06/2000 - "The psychosocial impact of type of primary surgery for breast cancer occurs largely in areas of body image and feelings of attractiveness, with women receiving lumpectomy experiencing the most positive outcome. " 07/15/2008 - "In patients with locally advanced and operable breast cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been demonstrated to increase the chance of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) when compared with adjuvant treatment; moreover, patients who achieve a pathologic complete response (pCR) have a better outcome. " 10/01/2003 - "The proven efficacy of IORT concurrent with lumpectomy in the primary treatment of early-stage breast cancer suggests that even local recurrences following conventional conservative treatment might be dealt with effectively and expeditiously by means of local excision plus IORT. "
2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 07/01/2002 - "Marked decrease in tumor size allowed one patient to receive breast-conserving surgery. " 09/23/2014 - "High-risk patients should undergo segmentectomy, whereas lobectomies are superior to segmentectomies only for tumors >2 cm (T2bN0M0) in terms of disease-free and overall 5-year survival. " 08/01/2006 - "There was statistically significant improvement in the following parameters: frequency of excision biopsies fell from 17.3% to 10.4%; preoperative cancer diagnosis without excision biopsy rose from 67.4% to 95.1%; percentage of women receiving breast conserving surgery rose from 24.4% to 44.7%. " 10/01/1995 - "Two patients had peripheral secondary tumors and underwent segmentectomy or partial resection of the lung with good results. " 11/01/1996 - "Patients with ILC or ILC/IDC can be effectively treated with lumpectomy and radiation for stage I and II tumors while maintaining a low risk of local recurrence and equivalent overall survival."
3.	Noninfiltrating Intraductal Carcinoma (DCIS) 08/01/2013 - "Those patients with pure DCIS treated with breast conserving surgery (BCS) benefited most with a relative risk reduction of nearly 50% for unnecessary SLNB. " 09/01/2001 - "The pattern of duct distribution was important: DCIS in which the involved ducts were more widely separated had a significantly greater recurrence of DCIS than when the involved ducts were more concentrated (p=0.08 for mammographically detected DCIS, p=0.07 for patients who underwent lumpectomy alone). " 12/01/2015 - "In patients treated with breast-conserving surgery for non-palpable DCIS, localization with iodine-125 seeds is superior to the WGL technique in reducing the risk of extensively involved resection margins." 07/01/2009 - "PURPOSE Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is an effective treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) but women who undergo BCS remain at risk for recurrences. " 06/01/2002 - "Lumpectomy followed by radiation is effective treatment for DCIS. "
4.	Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 04/01/2001 - "Because breast-conserving surgery (BCS), mastectomy alone, and mastectomy with reconstruction are equally effective for the treatment of early stage breast carcinoma, women's choice among them often focuses on quality-of-life (QOL) issues. " 09/01/2000 - "Dynamic MD-CT of the breast was found to be effective for the detection of intraductal extension of breast carcinoma and thought to be useful in the preoperative assessment of indications of breast-conserving surgery." 06/01/2010 - "The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of percutaneous ultrasound (US) guided preferential radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) of unifocal human invasive breast carcinoma with largest radiological diameters of up to 16 mm. Thirty-three patients were enrolled in a study to be treated prior to scheduled partial mastectomy. " 11/01/2009 - "It remains uncertain whether routine preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will lead to improved local outcomes after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and radiation (RT) for invasive carcinoma. " 04/01/1989 - "Improved exposure for dissection of axillary lymph nodes performed in conjunction with lumpectomy for carcinoma of the breast."
5.	Lung Neoplasms (Lung Cancer) 01/01/2013 - "Analyses, adjusting for propensity scores, showed that segmentectomy was associated with significant improvement in overall (hazard ratio: 0.80, 95% confidence interval: 0.69-0.93) and lung cancer-specific survival (hazard ratio: 0.72, 95% confidence interval: 0.59-0.88) compared with wedge resection. " 11/01/2012 - "It has been proved that lobectomy for lung cancer of less than 3 cm is superior to sublobar resection (segmentectomy and wedge resection) in the Lung Cancer Study Group trial published in 1995. " 09/01/2013 - "For stage I(A) peripheral lung cancer, the thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy was safe and effective just as thoracoscopic lobectomy, and furthermore with faster post-operative recovery." 06/01/2009 - "Thoracoscopic segmentectomy is a safe option for experienced thoracoscopic surgeons treating patients with small stage I lung cancers. " 08/01/2015 - "Fifty patients with lung cancer who underwent lobectomy/segmentectomy were included in the study. "
