About

Screening programs and advances in imaging have led to more breast lesions being diagnosed at an impalpable stage. Multiple localisation techniques for nonpalpable breast lesions have been developed during the past decades. Specifically, several alternatives to the golden standard hooked-wire technique have become available, of which magnetic seed localisation is one of the newest approaches. Since September 2018, Magseed® localisation is the standard of care for localising impalpable breast lesions in UZ Leuven. In this study, the oncological safety, the clinical safety and surgeon satisfaction of Magseed® localisation will be assessed and retrospectively compared to hooked-wire localisation.

Prospective Magseed

Description:

This cohort includes patients with an impalpable breast lesion that are scheduled for breast conserving surgery with Magseed localisation after September 2018. Their data will be prospectively collected and analysed.

Treatment:

Device: Preoperative localisation technique

Retrospective hooked-wire

Description:

This cohort includes patients with an impalpable breast lesion that were scheduled for breast conserving surgery with hooked-wire before September 2018. Their data will be retrospectively collected and analysed.
