Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main endpoint of this study is the frequency of successful complete tumour excision by the VAB, where successful is defined as *having tumour free margins, and no residual (in situ) cancer in the surgical specimen'.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Whether we can predict successful complete resection of the tumor based on imaging features other than size. - Whether we can predict successful complete resection of the tumor based upon histopathological features from the large core biopsy specimens. - To analyze the characteristics of eventual residual tumor deposits in the surgical specimens. - To explore SN status following VAB of the primary tumor. - Analyze the difference in quality-of-life and pain experience between VAB excision and surgery.
