Radioactive seed vs. wire: which better guides breast cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT02759133
Summary
This study compared two methods to help surgeons find small, non-palpable breast tumors before removal. 350 participants were randomly assigned to have their tumor marked either with a standard metal wire or a tiny radioactive iodine seed. Researchers wanted to see if the seed method was as good as the wire at helping surgeons get clean margins around the tumor, while also improving patient comfort and surgical planning.
