Comparison of ultrasound guided surgery and radio-guided occult lesions localization (ROLL) for nonpalpable breast cancer excision.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is little literature comparing intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) with radio-guided occult lesions localization (ROLL) in nonpalpable invasive tumors in breast conserving surgery (BCS). There is a need to compare these two methods in terms of safety and efficacy.

Methods

This is an observational cohort study. All patients treated with BCS for nonpalpable invasive breast cancer using IOUS from March 2016 to March 2020 were included and compared with a historical reference control group operated on using ROLL from March 2013 to March 2017. For each detection method, the ability to locate tumors intraoperatively, tumor and surgical specimen sizes, total resection volume (TRV), optimal resection volume, excess of healthy tissue resected (ETR), margin status, re-ex
