This umbrella review compares radioguided localisation techniques with wire-guided localisation in non-palpable breast lesions, indicating improved outcomes.
Key Points
This review aims to synthesize evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of radioguided localisation techniques for non-palpable breast lesions compared to wire-guided localisation.
Comprehensive literature search conducted on PubMed/Medline and Cochrane Library
Focus on systematic reviews and meta-analyses published until 2024
Assessment of outcomes like margin positivity and re-excision rates
Radioguided techniques showed high localisation success rates, often exceeding 95%
Fewer positive margins were observed with radioguided methods compared to wire-guided localisation
Operative times were generally shorter for radioguided techniques with comparable safety profiles
