Wire-guided localisation vs HOLOGIC® LOCalizer™ radiofrequency identification (RFID) tag localisation of non-palpable breast lesions; a comparative analysis of ease of use and accuracy of localisation
While associated with fewer positive margins, tag localisation did not significantly lower re-excision rates and was more likely to fail than wire-guided localisation. Further studies may elucidate its possible benefits in select patients.
