First seen Feb 26, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks back at 1,400 women who had breast-conserving surgery for non-palpable breast cancer. It compares two techniques used to locate the tumor during surgery: a radioactive injection (ROLL) and a tiny magnetic seed placed beforehand. The main goal is to see which method more often leads to clean surgical margins, meaning all cancer is removed in one go.
