AI Article Synopsis
- Wire-guided localization is a common method used during surgery to find breast cancer that can't be felt by touch.
- Radioactive seed localization (RSL) is a newer method that is becoming popular and seems to work well too.
- A study looked at 3168 patients and found that doctors are becoming more confident in using RSL for surgeries.
Article Abstract
Wire-guided localization is the most commonly used technique for intraoperative localization of non-palpable breast cancer. Radioactive seed localization (RSL) is becoming more popular and seems to be a reliable alternative for intraoperative lesion localization. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate the use of RSL. Primary study outcomes were irradicality and re-excision rates. In total 3168 patients were included. The clinical adaptation shows growing confidence in RSL and further growth is expected.
