Preoperative Radar Localisation of Impalpable Breast and Axillary Lesions: Initial Experience in an Australian Tertiary Centre
RL is a safe, accurate localisation technique, demonstrating significantly fewer migration issues and fewer retrieval issues than HWL, while maintaining equivalent surgical oncologic outcomes. It offers logistical benefits of placement at any time prior to surgery (including time-of-biopsy placement), optimisation of radiology and surgical workflows, and versatility of axillary node and MRI-guided placement and compatibility.
