Abstract
PURPOSE: To compare surgical outcomes of SAVI SCOUT reflector localization (SSL) versus wire localization (WL) for breast tumors. METHODS: Retrospective review of 42 SSL cases and 42 WL cases. WL patients were consecutively matched for clinical-pathologic features. Final surgical outcome measures were tumor specimen volume, margin status, and re-excision rates. RESULTS: No significant differences were present in median specimen volumes (SSL-15.2cm3 vs. WL-16.3cm3), positive margin rate (SSL-9.5% vs. WL-7.1%), close margin rate (SSL-7.1% vs. WL-11.9%) or re-excision rate (SSL-7.1% vs. WL-9.5%). CONCLUSION: SSL is an acceptable alternative to WL with no significant differences in surgical outcomes.
