“…As for soft tissue tumors, radioactive seed localization has been described in one study. Garner et al demonstrated that the iodine-125 seed excision of 10 soft tissue masses resulted in negative margins in nine patients (90%) [14]. One patient with positive margins had a benign tumor and did not require further surgery or treatment [14].…”

Merkel cell carcinoma is a rapidly progressive nonmelanoma skin cancer with a high risk of recurrence. When recurrence occurs, it is associated with poor prognosis and there is a lack of guidelines for the management of such cases. This article describes a challenging case in which the innovative use of iodine-125 radioactive seeds permitted us to precisely identify and resect two nonpalpable recurrent nodules. The safety and accuracy of the surgical procedure were compromised by the presence of scar tissue following two past resections and two courses of radiotherapy. Radioactive seed localization is a well-known procedure in breast cancer, demonstrating potential for an extended application in other cancer types and in complex clinical situations.

“…To our knowledge, this article presents the first results of detecting and imaging the lower energy gamma photons emitted by 125 I seeds currently being used for RSL surgical procedures with a SFOV HGC. We consider that this technology would be particularly useful in RSL for non-palpable breast tumours and other soft tissue masses 18 and would be complementary to the current standard procedure using a gamma probe. The low sensitivity of the HGC may be a possible limitation.…”

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in females worldwide. In the United Kingdom, Cancer Research UK estimated that there were 55,122 new cases of breast cancer in 2015 and 11,563 deaths from breast cancer in 2016. 1 Due to advances in imaging technologies and national breast screening programmes, approximately 25-35% of detected breast tumours are non-palpable at diagnosis. 2,3 The accurate identification of non-palpable lesions pre-and intraoperatively, together with the precise localisation of the tumour with adequate resection margins, are crucial in the quality of surgical care and will affect the oncological and cosmetic outcomes. Wire guided localisation (WGL), where a guide wire is placed in situ under ultrasonographic or radiographic control, has been the standard technique for guiding the surgical resection of non-palpable breast tumours. However, this technique can cause discomfort and inconvenience to the patient.
