Objective: The aim of this investigation was to determine whether radioguided occult lesion localization and routine wire localization differ in respect to the effectiveness of complete excision of nonpalpable breast cancer lesions.
Subjects And Methods: This prospective randomized study included patients with breast cancer scheduled for conservative tumor excision and sentinel node biopsy. Patients were randomized to either radioguided localization or wire localization. Comparative radiologic, surgical, and pathologic data were collected and analyzed to establish the duration, ease of use, and accuracy of the two techniques for occult lesion localization. The effectiveness of sentinel node biopsy also was assessed. One radiologist and two surgeons participated in the study.
Results: Among 134 patients, 68 were treated with wire localization and 66 with radioguided localization. The mean duration of radiologic localization was significantly shorter for radioguided localization (p < 0.001). No statistical differences were found for the other parameters studied. Radiography of the surgical specimen showed 100% lesion excision with both techniques. Complete tumor excision with tumor-free margins was achieved in 89.4% of patients who underwent radioguided localization group and 82.4% of patients who underwent wire localization. Pathologic examination showed the excised tissue volume was slightly larger (p = 0.371) and lesion concentricity slightly less (p = 0.730) with radioguided localization. The sentinel node detection rate was 91% with radioguided localization and 84% with wire localization.
Conclusion: The radioguided technique is as effective as the standard wire technique for localization and excision of nonpalpable breast cancer lesions and is somewhat faster and simpler to perform than wire localization.

Radioguided parathyroidectomy: What does it contribute to surgery?
Cir Esp (Engl Ed)

Servicio de Medicina Nuclear, Hospital Universitario de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain.
Objective: To evaluate whether a radioguided approach allows a higher intraoperative detection rate of adenoma and a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP), with the same or better cure rate of hyperparathyroidism secondary to parathyroid adenoma.
Methods: This was an observational, prospective, single-center study involving 254 consecutive patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, between 2017 and 2022. A total of 258 procedures were performed: 129 non radioguided (NRS) and 129 radioguided (RS) (112 with intravenous 99 mTc- MIBI and 17 with ultrasound-guided intralesional 99 mTc-MAA injection) with an intraoperative gamma probe and gamma camera.
Non-Palpable Breast Cancer: A Targeting Challenge-Comparison of Radio-Guided vs. Wire-Guided Localization Techniques.

The incidence of non-palpable breast cancer is increasing due to widespread screening and neo-adjuvant therapies. Among the available tumor localization techniques, radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) has largely replaced wire-guided localization (WGL). The aim of this study was to compare the ROLL and WGL techniques in terms of the effectiveness of isotopic marking of axillary sentinel lymph nodes and to assess patient perspectives along with surgeon and radiologist preferences.

Background: To evaluate how prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels decrease after removal of isolated prostate cancer (PCa) nodal metastases in relation to their diameter/volume ("PSA-density of PCa-metastases") and maximum standardized uptake value (SUV).
Methods: A total of 83 consecutive patients with solitary nodal recurrence after radical prostatectomy who underwent prostate-specific membrane antigen-radioguided salvage surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Using multivariable linear regression models, the PSA-decrease after removal of each PCa-metastases (=PSA-contribution of each PCa-metastases) was correlated with the long axis diameter/estimated volume and the SUV of each removed metastasis.
Radioguided Surgery for the Localisation of Specific Adenopathies in the Head and Neck Area.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Deparment, University Hospital La Princesa, Madrid, Spain.
Purpose: Intraoperative identification and excision of specific lymphadenopathies is not always easy; it is, therefore, important to have complementary techniques that help us in the identification of these structures intraoperatively. The aim of this study is to present preliminary results of the use of ROLL technique (radioguided occult lesion localisation) as a method of excisional biopsy in the head and neck territory.
Material And Methods: We present 10 cases of patients with difficult to localise lymphadenopathies in the head and neck territory that underwent the ROLL technique.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioguided surgery (RGS) is evolving as a new treatment modality for patients with early biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer and disease limited to locoregional lymph nodes on PSMA-ligand PET/CT. Nevertheless, the pattern of failure (locoregional vs. systemic) after PSMA RGS remains unknown.
