Abstract:
Four randomized trials encompassing 449 patients of non-palpable breast cancer undergoing with radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) or wire guided localization (WGL). In the fixed effects model, accurate localization, peri-procedural complications, and reoperation rate were comparable between two techniques. Risk of having positive resection margins following WGL was higher. Duration of localization and surgical excision was shorter for ROLL. Volume and weight of the excised occult breast lesion was similar in WGL and ROLL groups.
