Study Summary

The purpose of this randomized trial is to determine the superiority of utilizing radioactive seed localization (RSL) over wire-guided localization (WL) for palpable or non-palpable malignant lesions in patients undergoing breast conservation surgery (BCS).

Primary Outcome

The primary objective for this study will be the comparison between Radioactive Seed Localization (RSL) and Wire-Guided Localization (WL) based on negative margins in malignant breast disease. This is defined as no tumor on ink in invasive disease and greater than or equal to 2mm from the inked margin in non-invasive disease (DCIS).

Interventions
