Needle-wire-guided breast tumor excision.

Area of Science:

• Surgical Oncology
• Breast Surgery Techniques
• Oncoplastic Surgery

Background:

• Complete resection of large breast tumors can be challenging.
• Achieving optimal excision margins is crucial for successful breast cancer treatment.
• Existing techniques may have limitations in guiding precise tumor removal.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce and evaluate a novel needle-guided tumor excision technique.
• To demonstrate the utility of needles as markers for optimal excision margins.
• To enhance the approachability of complete resection for large-sized tumors in oncoplastic surgery.

Main Methods:

• Development of a needle-guide tumor excision technique.
• Application of needles as markers to identify optimal excision margins.
• Implementation within the context of Oncoplastic Conservative Breast Surgery.

Main Results:

• Needle guidance facilitates easier complete resection of large tumors.
• Needles effectively mark optimal excision margins, particularly at difficult points.
• The technique improves precision in oncoplastic breast surgery.

Conclusions:

• Needle-guided tumor excision is a valuable advancement in oncoplastic breast surgery.
• This method enhances the ability to achieve complete tumor resection with clear margins.
• It offers a practical solution for managing large breast tumors.
