Radioguided Occult Lesion Localization Versus Wire-guided Localization of Nonpalpable Breast Lesions: A Comparative Analysis
Journal Title: Journal of Academic Research in Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: Wire-guided localization (WGL) is the preoperative localization method most commonly used before the surgical excision of non-palpable breast lesions (NPBLs). Recently, radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL) has emerged as an alternative to WGL. We sought to compare the efficacy of ROLL with that of WGL for the preoperative localization of NPBLs and to assess our experience encountered as ROLL is implemented at our institution. Methods: We retrospectively identified reports of patients with NPBLs who underwent mammography- or ultrasonography-guided ROLL or WGL between January 2014 and March 2017. Medical records were reviewed to compare radiologic and pathologic findings, rates of accurate localization, specimen volumes, lengths of operation, creation of positive surgical margins, number of simultaneous sentinel lymph node biopsies (SLNB) performed, complication rates, and lengths of hospital stay. Results: Our search identified 67 women (mean age, 52.7 years; range, 32-69 years) diagnosed with NPBLs during the study period. ROLL was used in 25 patients; WGL was used in 42 patients. Both methods had a high accurate localization rate (ROLL, 96%; WGL, 98%). The length of operation was longer in the ROLL group than in the WGL group (p=0.001), and more SLNBs were performed in the ROLL group than in the WGL group. No significant differences were seen between the groups in terms of radiologic and pathologic findings, specimen volumes, positive surgical margins, complication rates, or lengths of hospital stay. Conclusion: ROLL is a promising alternative to WGL for preoperative localization of NPBLs. The operation time for ROLL procedures at our institution will likely decrease as clinicians become more familiar with the procedure.
