Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyCosmetic outcomes following wide local excision of impalpable breast cancer: is radioguided occult lesion localization using iodine-125 seeds better than hookwire localization?
Hookwire localization (HWL) is the gold standard for localizing impalpable tumours for breast conserving surgery. An alternative technique, radioguided occult lesion localization using iodine-125 seeds (ROLLIS), has been associated with lower re-excision rates. This paper investigates if cosmetic outcomes differ in women undergoing breast conserving surgery with HWL or ROLLIS. ⋯ Pre-operative localization of impalpable breast lesions using either ROLLIS or HWL resulted in a good cosmetic outcome with no significant difference between localization techniques.
