Radiofrequency identification tag localization of nonpalpable breast lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The pooled rates of positive margins and re-excision after RFID tag localization were 12% and 13%, respectively. RFID localization had significantly lower positive margin rates than wire-guided localization (WGL); however, no difference was observed in re-excision rate. RFID localization provides an effective alternative to WGL and may be of benefit in selected patients. Randomized trials are required to better elucidate the benefit of RFIS tag localization.
