Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies radiofrequency technology in locating non-palpable breast lesions in patients undergoing surgery. Placing a miniature radiofrequency tag or microchip in the breast lesion before surgery and using a handheld device to guide doctors during surgery may improve surgical outcomes in patients with non-palpable breast lesions.
