	abstract = {Breast conserving surgery (BCS) for breast cancer patients is associated with a risk of re-excision of approximately 20%. Randomised trials have shown that the risk of re-excision could be minimised by obtaining cavity shaves of the four radial margins during BCS. However, the cavity shaves were often obtained in a random manner which could result in confusion in labelling the shaves in the operating theatre. To overcome this, an acronym SLIM (superior, lateral, inferior, medial) was introduced to guide the sequence of removal of shaves to minimise confusion. We aimed to assess the outcomes of implementing the SLIM technique.},
