Magnetic Seed Localisation for Nonpalpable Breast Lesions

Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Oncology
Interventions
Device: Preoperative localisation technique
Registration Number
NCT03988777
Lead Sponsor
Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Brief Summary

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.

GroupInterventionDescription
Prospective MagseedPreoperative localisation techniqueThis 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.
Retrospective hooked-wirePreoperative localisation techniqueThis 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.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total breast volume resected during breast conserving surgeryUp to three weeks after surgical treatment
Number of participant with device-related adverse eventsUp to three weeks after surgical treatment
Number of participants with positive surgical margins as assessed by pathological examination of the specimenUp to three weeks after surgical treatment
Re-operation rate due to positive surgical marginsUp to three weeks after surgical treatment
Surgeon satisfaction based on a questionnaireAfter surgery

After surgery, the surgeon will be asked to describe the magnetic seed procedure, choosing between 'easier than hooked-wire' or 'more challenging than hooked-wire'. Moreover, the surgeon wil have the chance to add additional remarks or experiences with this new technique.
