Prebiopsy localization of nonpalpable breast lesions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiologically guided localization procedures are indicated pre-operatively when breast lesions are nonpalpable. The results of 42 percutaneous hookwire localizations over a period of 3 years are described. Of the total, 7 (17%) were found to be malignant. Biopsy was indicated by mammographically detected mass in 48%, by microcalcifications in 40% and by microcalcifications with an associated mass in 12%.

متن کاملRadio-guided occult lesion localization for nonpalpable suspicious breast lesions: A novel technique
Background: Breast screening programs and increased self-awareness has led to increased identification of early breast cancers. Up to 25% of mammographicaly identified lesions are nonpalpable, which require a precise technique to localize and excise completely. Radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) is a technique, which uses hand held gamma probe to accurately localize and completely e...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE With advances in mammographic equipment and techniques, more and more nonpalpable breast lesions have been detected. This study was to investigate the application of methylene blue dye for localized biopsy to diagnose nonpalpable breast lesions. METHODS In total 138 patients with suspicious malignant, nonpalpable breast lesions between August 2002 and October 2006 wer...
متن کاملDislocability of Localization Devices for Nonpalpable Breast Lesions: Experimental Results
Purpose. For accurate resection of nonpalpable malignant breast lesions with a tumor-free resection rim, an exact and stable wire localization is essential. We tested the resistance towards traction force of different localization devices used in our clinic for breast lesions in two types of tissue. Materials and Methods. Eight different commercially available hook-wire devices were examined fo...

OBJECTIVE Ultrasound-guided needle localization has been used prior to the surgical excision of nonpalpable breast lesions. The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of the use of a saline immersion specimen ultrasound technique (immersion-US) to confirm the successful removal of breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The devised immersion-US technique was used to examine the excised ...
