Safety and efficacy of magnetic seed localisation of non-palpable breast lesions: pilot study in a Chinese population

Preoperative non-palpable breast lesion localization, innovative techniques and clinical outcomes in surgical practice: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…In one study, two patients were converted to the wire technique because the devices were deployed far from the target. Further migrations have been associated with the accordion effect that cause the migration of the marker on release of the breast from compression during the stereotactic guidance [ 44 , 60 ].…”

Magseed Localisation of Non-palpable Papillary Lesions: a Pictorial Essay

“…Our experience suggests that success rates for ultrasound Magseed localisation and re-excision are comparable to existing studies of lesions with heterogeneous characteristics, including for lesion sizes >1 cm. 13,14 Insertion of Magseed and localisation of lesions with the Sentimag detector was relatively simple in these cases, even when two masses were close together (3 cm apart) and in the same breast. Most Magseed insertions were performed >1 week before surgery and were easily located without clinically consequent displacement, as evidenced by resection pathology results.…”

“…Recent studies, including one in Hong Kong and a systematic review, have demonstrated the efficacy of Magseed in localisation of non-palpable masses. [11][12][13][14] However, the proportion of ultrasound-guided Magseed localisation of papillary or subcentimetre lesions was low. To the best of our knowledge, performance and efficacy in this group of lesions has not been established.…”

Image-guided Localisation of Nonpalpable Breast Lesions: a Comparative Analysis of Magnetic Seeds and Hookwires in an Asian Population

“…One pilot study conducted in Hong Kong has provided initial insight into the efficacy and safety of Magseed in in an Asian population. 19 Further robust evaluation of this new method would be vital to support its wider clinical application in Asian populations.…”
