Abstract:
:The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the radioguided localization and excision technique using radiopharmaceuticals injected directly or close to occult breast lesions. We studied thirty-two consecutive patients with thirty-six occult breast lesions detected mammographically or ultrasonically categorized as BI-RADS 3, 4 or 5. Macroaggregate Albumin (MAA) labeled with (99m)Tc was administered directly or close to the lesion, guided by mammography or ultrasound, followed by an air injection for radiological control. The excision biopsy was carried out with the aid of a hand-held gamma detecting probe and the entire removal of the lesion was verified by X-ray of the surgical specimens or by intraoperatory frozen section examination. Breast cancer was found in 8.3% of BI-RADS 3 lesions, in 33.3% of the BI-RADS 4 lesions and in 66.6% of the BI-RADS 5 lesions. The radiotracer was correctly positioned in 97.2% of the specimens (35/36) allowing the removal of 97.2%. Xray confirmed the entire removal in 27 lesions (75%), intraoperatory frozen section study in 19.4% (7/36) and by both methods in 5.5% (2/36). Radioguided surgery turned out to be an important tool in the removal of non-palpable breast lesions, as a simple, fast and feasible method that can be implemented in the clinical routine of patients with non-palpable breast lesions.
