Primary outcomePrimary: The Distance Measured by Pathology From the Tumor Edge to the Center of the Ink Spots, as Marked by the Black Inked Pins. — 1.7 cm
Summary
In this study, the investigators will enroll women with palpable cancers to assess the accuracy of the Breast Cancer Locator (BCL) and the concomitant procedure as a vehicle to optimize and validate the approach in such surgical cases. This approach of adopting palpable cancer patients before initiating an evaluative trial of the BCL in non-palpable breast cancer cases ensures that the BCL does not substantially alter or modify the standard-of-care procedure.
