Known Malignancy Right breast US-guided core needle biopsy: IDC, grade 2, with DCIS 5
Left breast US-guided core needle biopsy: IDC, grade 2 Breast Cancer Treatment Breast Surgery Lumpectomy + Radiation = Mastectomy Breast Conservation Surgical Challenges Wire Localization Biopsy proven non-palpable malignant lesions Suspicious lesions on imaging unable to undergo percutaneous biopsy Location Patient technical limitations Excisional biopsy required due to discordance between pathology and imaging Response to neoadjuvant therapy Single localization Bracketing localization 6
Wire localization Limitations Surgical approach may be limited Wire migration Surgery and Radiology co-dependent Unable to be first case OR delays Patient discomfort Patient and physician inconvenience RSL Overview RSL - Radioactive Seed Localization Iodine-125 seeds implanted in breast Iodine-125 half-life of 60 days Seed activity of 0.1 mci Seed used for localization not therapy Presents a slight external hazard Sealed source does not present an internal hazard Advantages of RSL Seeds can be placed up to 5 days prior to surgery Allow uncoupling of the radiology and surgical schedule Easier on patient No evidence of migration I 125 and Tc 99m are of different Geiger counter peaks allowing lymphoscintigraphy to still be performed Performed with existing equipment in the OR Surgeon is unrestricted of incision location and approach Potential for smaller volume of breast specimen 7

Nodal Surgery Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection Definition: A sentinel lymph node (SLN) is best defined as any node that receives direct lymphatic drainage from a primary tumor site Status of the SLN is predictive of the status of the nodal basin First reported in breast cancer by Krag et al in 1993 ALND SLNB Node that contained the first metastasis and the corresponding percentage of patients 1.16% Yi M et al.
