[PMID: 38136264 PMCID: PMC10742222 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15245720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) guided by digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) represents one of the best instruments to obtain a histological diagnosis of suspicious lesions with no ultrasound correlation or those which are visible only on DBT. After a review of the literature, we retrospectively analyzed the DBT-guided VABBs performed from 2019 to 2022 at our department. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation and χ2 test were used to compare distributions of age, breast density (BD) and early performance measures including histopathology. We used kappa statistics to evaluate the agreement between histological assessment and diagnosis. Finally, we compared our experience to the literature to provide indications for clinical practice. We included 85 women aged 41-84 years old. We identified 37 breast cancers (BC), 26 stage 0 and 11 stage IA. 67.5% of BC was diagnosed in women with high BD. The agreement between VABB and surgery was 0.92 (k value, 95% CI: 0.76-1.08). We found a statistically significant inverse correlation between age and BD. The post-procedural clip was correctly positioned in 88.2%. The post-procedural hematoma rate was 14.1%. No infection or hemorrhage were recorded. When executed correctly, DBT-guided VABB represents a safe and minimally invasive technique with high histopathological concordance, for detecting nonpalpable lesions without ultrasound correlation.

Vacuum-assisted excision biopsy for definitive diagnosis of breast lesions of uncertain malignant potential (B3 lesions) on core biopsy - A single centre Western Australian experience.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In Australia, the usual approach to breast lesions where core biopsy returns an uncertain result ("B3" breast lesion) is to perform surgical diagnostic open biopsy (DOB). This is associated with patient time off work, costs of hospital admission, risks of general anaesthesia and surgical complications. The majority of B3 lesions return benign results following surgery. Vacuum assisted excision biopsy (VAEB) is a less invasive, lower cost alternative, and is standard of care for selected B3 lesions in the United Kingdom. Similar use of VAEB in Australia, could save many women unnecessary surgery. The aim of this study was to document our experience during the introduction of VAEB as an alternative to DOB for diagnosis of selected B3 lesions. METHODS The multidisciplinary team developed an agreed VAEB pathway for selected B3 lesions. Technically accessible papillary lesions, mucocele-like lesions and radial scars without atypia measuring ≤ 15mm were selected. RESULTS Over a 7 month period, 18 women with 20 B3 lesions were offered VAEB. 16 women (18 lesions) chose VAEB over DOB. Papillomas were the commonest lesion type. All lesions were successfully sampled: 17/18 were benign. One lesion (6%) was upgraded to malignancy (ductal carcinoma in situ on VAEB, invasive ductal carcinoma at surgery). No major complications occurred. Patient satisfaction was high: 15/16 respondents would again choose VAEB over surgery. CONCLUSION VAEB is a patient-preferred, safe, well-tolerated, lower-cost alternative to DOB for definitive diagnosis of selected B3 breast lesions.

Abstract
Breast conservation surgery (BCS) is the standard of care for treating patients with early-stage breast cancer and those with locally advanced breast cancer who achieve an excellent response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The radiologist is responsible for accurately localizing nonpalpable lesions to facilitate successful BCS. In this article, we present a practical modality-based guide on approaching challenging preoperative localizations, incorporating illustrative examples of challenging localizations performed under sonographic, mammographic, and MRI guidance, as well as under multiple modalities. Aspects of preprocedure planning, modality selection, patient communication, as well as procedural and positional techniques are highlighted. Clip and device migration is also considered. Further, an overview is provided of the most widely used wire localization (WL) and non-wire localization (NWL) devices in the United States. Accurate preoperative localization of breast lesions is essential to achieve successful surgical outcomes. Certain modality-based techniques can be adopted to successfully complete challenging cases.

Abstract
Breast tissue markers are common in current clinical practice and are susceptible to migration. Herein, we present the case of a 47-year-old woman with invasive breast carcinoma diagnosed through ultrasound-guided core biopsy, who underwent placement of a breast marker (HydroMARK®) under ultrasound guidance 30 days after core biopsy and with subsequent marker migration to the nipple. The correct position of the marker was documented by mammography after its placement and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Migration of the marker to the nipple was evident only by mammography on the day of surgery. We hypothesized that an intraductal path was the route of marker migration in this patient. Marked ductal ectasia evident on MRI and histopathologic examination supported this hypothesis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case of intraductal migration of a breast tissue marker.

Abstract
The advent and implementation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) have had a significant effect on breast cancer detection and image-guided breast procedures. DBT has been shown to improve the visualization of architectural distortions and noncalcified masses. With the incorporation of DBT imaging, biopsy of those findings seen only with DBT is feasible, and the need for localization and surgical excision to determine the pathologic diagnosis is avoided. The additional benefits of reduced procedural time, better localization, and increased technical success support the use of DBT for breast biopsy. DBT-guided biopsy can be performed with the patient prone or upright, depending on the table or unit used. Upright positioning enables improved patient comfort, particularly in patients who have restricted mobility, weight-related limitations, and/or difficulty lying prone for an extended period. Upright DBT-guided breast procedures require a cohesive team approach with overlapping radiologist and technologist responsibilities. Since this is a common breast procedure, the radiologist should be familiar with preprocedural considerations, patient preparations, and use of the biopsy equipment. The basic principles of upright DBT-guided breast biopsy are described in this comprehensive review. The various procedural components, including alternative approaches and techniques, are discussed. Tips and tricks for navigating the biopsy procedure to minimize complications, imaging examples of crucial steps, and supporting diagrams are provided. In addition, the challenges of performing upright DBT-guided biopsy, with troubleshooting techniques to ensure a successful procedure, are reviewed. ©RSNA, 2021.

Early reflector localization improves the accuracy of localization and excision of a previously positive axillary lymph node following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2021; 189:121-130. [PMID: 34159474 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-021-06281-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Clipped axillary lymph node (CALN) localization after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for axillary node positive breast cancer can be difficult due to significant shrinkage or disappearance of the CALN after NAC. This study compares wire localization to a radar-based localization system utilizing a reflector that can be placed before or during NAC, in the months before definitive surgery, to facilitate accurate localization and excision of the CALN. METHODS Between 2016 and 2019, women with T0-4 N1-3 M0 breast cancer who underwent NAC followed by axillary surgery with planned excision of a biopsy positive or clinically suspicious axillary node via wire or reflector localization were identified. A retrospective chart review was performed comparing successful localization and CALN retrieval by each localization technique. RESULTS Ninety-nine patients met inclusion criteria. Forty-two patients underwent wire localization while 57 patients underwent reflector localization of the CALN. Successful identification of the CALN by wire or reflector was equivalent (83.3% vs 84.2%, respectively). Twenty-two reflectors placed before or during early/mid NAC (early placement) had 100% successful CALN localization and retrieval in the OR. Placement of wire or reflector localization devices within 8 weeks of surgery (late placement) only resulted in 79.2% localization success (p = .02). CONCLUSION This study suggests a benefit of axillary lymph node reflector placement in the early NAC setting. Early reflector placement allows for more accurate excision of the CALN during axillary surgery after NAC as compared to placement of localization wires or reflectors in the few weeks prior to surgery.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the clinical value of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive biopsy of breast nodules for diagnosis and treatment of patients with no positive clinical signs on manual breast examination. Methods We performed a retrospective review of 136 patients with no signs on breast palpation who underwent ultrasound-guided minimally invasive biopsy. A total of 63 patients underwent breast nodule resection from October 2018 to December 2019 at the General Hospital of Central Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army. Clinical data, including indications for minimally invasive biopsy or resection, pathological and surgical results were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 199 patients were studied; 136 underwent minimally invasive biopsy and 63 underwent resection. No severe surgical complications occurred. Minimally invasive biopsy of breast nodules was superior to resection with respect to operation time, incision length, and postoperative complication rate. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive biopsy of breast nodules is feasible for treatment of patients with negative breast nodules and can achieve accurate diagnosis and satisfactory resection.
