Summary
The purpose of the project is to compare Radiofrequency identification device (RFID) localization technique with the current clinical standard wire localization technique. The Investigator's hypotheses is that the RFID localization technique is non-inferior to wire localization for breast lesions (tumors).
The study will be conducted in two parts. The purpose of Part A is for physician training with the RFID device. Nine subjects will undergo RFID and wire localization prior to breast lesion excision. This will allow the breast radiologists and surgeons to become comfortable with RFID device placement and retrieval. Additionally, the investigators will pilot the data collection surveys and chart review methodology to be used in Part B.
The purpose of Part B is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to assess whether RFID localization is non-inferior to wire localization for breast lesions. For this part, sixty subjects will be randomized to RFID (N=30) or wire localization (N=30) at time of enrollment. Surveys will be used to gather data from participants, radiologists, surgeons, and technologists/mammography nurses. A variety of data will be collected including, but not limited to, information on tumor size, location, depth; subject demographics; adequacy of tumor margins, re-excision rates, accuracy of wire or chip placement, and surgical complications.
