Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: Wire-guided localisation (WGL) remains the most widely used technique for the localisation of non-palpable breast lesions; however, recent technological advances have resulted in non-wire, non-radioactive alternatives, such as magnetic seeds (Magseeds). The aim of this pooled analysis was to determine whether Magseeds are an effective tool for localising non-palpable breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Various databases were searched for publications which reported data on the localisation and placement rates of Magseed. Data on re-excision rates under use of Magseed and WGL were also collected. RESULTS: Sixteen studies, spanning the insertion of 1,559 Magseeds, were analysed. The pooled analysis showed a successful placement rate of 94.42% and a successful localisation rate of 99.86%. Four studies were analysed in a separate pooled analysis and showed no statistically significant difference between re-excision rates using Magseeds and WGL. CONCLUSION: The use of Magseeds is an effective, non-inferior alternative to WGL that overcomes many of the limitations of the latter. Copyright
