Wire localization for planned surgical treatment in the management of breast cancer is underutilized in our environment. The objective of this study is to assess the role of ultrasound-guided wire localization of breast masses detected on screening mammography and its impact on biopsy and breast conservative surgery in our environment.
A prospective study of 189 women who presented for screening mammography following a health campaign on breast cancer within a six-month period. Wire localization for mammographic detected lesions was done under ultrasound guidance. The lesions excised were sent for specimen radiography and histology.
Ten women had wire localization of breast lesions and subsequent excision. Three lesions were on the right and 7 on the left; out of which 3 were malignant. The mean volume of excised tissue was 74.27 ± 30.16 cm(3).
Early detection of breast cancer is possible and practicable in our environment. Wire localization of detectable lesions on mammography will assist in better surgical management and improve prognosis.
在我们的环境中,用于乳腺癌手术治疗计划的金属丝定位未得到充分利用。本研究的目的是评估超声引导下对筛查乳腺摄影中发现的乳腺肿块进行金属丝定位的作用及其对我们环境中活检和保乳手术的影响。
对在为期六个月的乳腺癌健康运动后前来进行筛查乳腺摄影的189名女性进行前瞻性研究。在超声引导下对乳腺摄影检测到的病变进行金属丝定位。切除的病变送去进行标本射线照相和组织学检查。
10名女性对乳腺病变进行了金属丝定位并随后切除。3个病变在右侧,7个在左侧;其中3个为恶性。切除组织的平均体积为74.27±30.16立方厘米。
在我们的环境中,早期发现乳腺癌是可能且可行的。乳腺摄影中可检测病变的金属丝定位将有助于更好的手术管理并改善预后。
