Methods: A total of 6083 patients were enrolled in a retrospective study. Ultrasound evaluation and ultrasound-guided VAE were performed on these patients. According to the pathology of VAE, 53 patients with incidentally found breast cancer were included in the final analysis. Either breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy was performed. The maximal diameter, depth, location, BIRADS category, and Adler\u2019s grade of all lesions before VAE was reviewed and recorded. VAE and post-surgery pathologies were used as gold standards. Either Pearson\u2019s chi-square test or Fisher\u2019s exact test was used for comparison of categorical variables. Results: The mean age of the enrolled patients was 49 years (IQR: 43\u201355 years). The mean maximal diameter of the lesions was 11.3 mm (IQR: 7\u201315 mm). There were twenty-eight ductal carcinomas in situ, twelve invasive ductal carcinomas, five lobular carcinomas in situ, two invasive lobular carcinomas, four intraductal papillary carcinomas, and two mucinous carcinomas. Post-surgery pathology showed 15 cases with residual cancer and 38 cases with no residual cancer. The maximal diameter, depth, and pathology derived via VAE were statistically correlated with post-surgery residue (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: Small incidentally found noninvasive carcinomas located comparatively deep in the breast could be totally excised by ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted excision. Both large and superficially invasive carcinomas were more likely to be associated with residue.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics15192549","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,9]],"date-time":"2025-10-09T16:54:31Z","timestamp":1760028871000},"page":"2549","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Factors Correlated with Post-Surgery Residual Carcinoma in Cases of Breast Cancer Incidentally Found via Vacuum-Assisted Excision: An Ultrasound Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7381-5011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiongchao","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 107# Yanjiang Xi Road, Guangzhou 510120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 107# Yanjiang Xi Road, Guangzhou 510120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guoxue","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 107# Yanjiang Xi Road, Guangzhou 510120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-2281-984X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Guan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 107# Yanjiang Xi Road, Guangzhou 510120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5672-9386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 107# Yanjiang Xi Road, Guangzhou 510120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 107# Yanjiang Xi Road, Guangzhou 510120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haohu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 107# Yanjiang Xi Road, Guangzhou 510120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5990-271X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoyun","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ultrasound, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, 107# Yanjiang Xi Road, Guangzhou 510120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"2455","article-title":"Clinicopathological Analysis of Ultrasound-Guided Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Disease","volume":"38","author":"Park","year":"2018","journal-title":"Anticancer Res."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yoo, H.-S., Kang, W.-S., Pyo, J.-S., and Yoon, J.
