Summary: This study compared three different localization devices for preoperative localization in breast surgery, and found that SSR and RSL can be used for localizing multiple breast lesions with no difference in positive margin rates or complications compared with WL, and less tissue excised.

Summary: This study compared the use of SAVI Scout (R) and wire localization techniques for excision of breast lesions. The results showed that both techniques achieved successful excision of targeted lesions, with SAVI Scout (R) offering more convenience. Further research comparing different localization techniques is needed to assess effectiveness, cost, and patient-provider experiences.

Summary: Preoperative localization of nonpalpable breast lesions using a radar reflector surgical guidance system is common, but its clinical utility in the musculoskeletal system is not yet well established. The system includes a console, a handpiece, an implanted radiofrequency reflector as a lesion marker, and an infrared light-emitting probe for guidance. The reflector can be used to localize small nonpalpable nodules in subcutaneous fat and deeper soft tissues, as well as lymph nodes and foreign bodies. Localization can be done before and after treatment. The objective of this article is to describe the potential applications and technique for radar reflector localization in the musculoskeletal system based on initial experiences.

Summary: This study retrospectively examined the results of ultrasound-guided excisional biopsy in patients with nonpalpable breast lesions. The researchers found that ultrasonographic and mammographic BI-RADS values were risk factors for malignancy. Ultrasound-guided wire localization biopsy was found to be a useful method in cases where core/vacuum biopsy could not diagnose or there were discrepancies between pathology and radiology results.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the potential application of wire-free breast lesion system using miniature radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags in breast cancer patients, and compare its impact on patient comfort with the traditional hook wire localization technique under real-time ultrasound guidance. The study is a single-center prospective trial design, involving 20 patients in the hook wire group and 20 patients in the RFID group. Questionnaires will be used to assess the comfort and satisfaction of patients and surgeons with the two localization techniques.

Summary: This study prospectively analyzed the outcomes of magnetic seed (Magseed) localization (MSL) and compared the re-excision rates with wire-guided localization (WGL). The results showed that MSL had a lower re-excision rate and provided a safe and accurate way of localizing breast lesions.

Summary: Most breast cancers can be treated with breast-conserving surgery, but a localization step is required to determine which tissue needs to be removed. The traditional technique involves placing a guidewire into the tumor, but it has drawbacks. New techniques have been developed but have not been extensively studied. A review is presented to discuss available techniques and introduce the MELODY study that focuses on patient, surgeon, and radiologist preference.

Summary: This study compares the wire-guided localization (WGL) technique with the radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) technique in terms of accuracy and efficacy for non-palpable breast lesion localization. The results show that ROLL is as effective as WGL in excising breast lesions, and ROLL can reduce the duration of surgery, localization time, and achieve a higher percentage of clear margins.

Summary: Reflector-guided localization using a nonradioactive radar implant showed lower rates of positive margins and close margins compared to wire localizations, leading to a significant decrease in re-excision rates. There were no statistically significant differences in localization time and OR time between the two approaches. Technical challenges included reflector placement issues, while patient factors involved considerations for reflector placement in the post-surgical breast. Despite these challenges, reflector-guided localization was found to be accurate and efficient.

Summary: The study found that magnetic seed localization demonstrated similar safety and effectiveness to wire localization. For patients undergoing single lumpectomy for lesions less than 50 mm, there were no significant differences in terms of closest margin distance, reoperation rate, and specimen weight between the two localization techniques.

Summary: Wire-guided localization (WGL) is commonly used for non-palpable breast cancer (BC), but has potential disadvantages. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS)-guided excision is a safe and effective alternative that improves negative margin rates and reduces re-operation rates, especially for non-palpable BC.
