Study Summary
This small pilot will allow surgeons to perform wireless breast lumpectomies using a new magnetic technology. This is a continuation of a previous project testing the technology, and the breast surgeons comfort level using this new technology. The aim of this project is to develop a new technique for surgical excision of lesions either through surgical biopsy or lumpectomy. The current standard of care involves placing a needle then slender wire through the lesion under image guidance by a radiologist. The surgeon then removes the lesion using the wire as a guide. This new technique would place a magnet through the lesion under image guidance by a radiologist. The surgeon would then use the MagneProbe in the operating room to locate the magnet and remove the lesion. This new technique would eliminate the use of a wire that protrudes from a patient's breast. This wire is usually placed on the day of surgery, prior to the procedure. The goal of this new technique is to eliminate wire placement and increase patient comfort throughout the day of her surgery.
Primary Outcome
Investigators anticipate that cases using this localization and excision technique will be successful at minimum 96% of the time. The rate at which excision is successful using traditional methods. This outcome will be assessed and presented at the completion of the trial at the end of one year
