Breast Neoplasm

Procedure: Radiofrequency-Guided Localization
Registration Number

Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies the use of the radiofrequency-guided localization in patients with abnormal breast tissue undergoing lumpectomy (a type of breast-sparing surgery). The radiofrequency identification localization system consists of an implantable radiofrequency identification tag and a hand-held radiofrequency reader to mark abnormal breast tissue before surgery and later surgically retrieve them. Radiofrequency-guided localization may make it easier to find and remove abnormal breast tissue during lumpectomy.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To obtain human clinical data in order to demonstrate that the Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) Localization System performs as intended as a localization device for marking and retrieving a surgical target in the breast.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To solicit feedback from the radiologists and surgeons regarding the process and use of the RFID system.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo radiofrequency-guided localization comprising RFID tag placement before lumpectomy and interactive detection of tag using RFID reader during lumpectomy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Localization success, defined as the surgical target visualized in the removed specimen AND the RFID tag removed from the patient's breastAt time of surgery

Will be summarized using descriptive statistics, including total numbers, percentages, means, and proportions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feedback solicited from the radiologist and surgeonUp to 12 months after lumpectomy

Feedback solicited from the radiologist and surgeon will be summarized using qualitative methods. Each questionnaire will be reviewed for both positive and negative responses and summarized.
