The lesion centralization (diagram). Diagram illustrating the current model for the lesion centralization. The formula of the centralization is next. Centralization = ||the major axis of the resected breast – (the major axis of the mass + the length of superior margin to the mass + the length of inferior margin to the mass)| + |the minor axis of the resected breast-(the minor axis of the mass + the length of medial margin to the mass + the length of lateral margin to the mass)||. The closer the calculated value was to zero, the more the lesion was centralized. “A” model was more centralized than “B” model. This work was drawn by the Creative Media Service in National Cancer Center Korea.
