Abstract

Purpose: Radiofrequency identification tag localization (TL) is a method of localizing nonpalpable breast cancers and high-risk lesions that can be performed prior to the day of surgery (DOS). We evaluated if placement of TL prior to DOS would affect patients' length of stay (LOS) and improve surgical on-time starts.

Methods: A retrospective review of excisional biopsies and lumpectomies with TL was performed. Associations between timing of TL (DOS vs. prior), time in radiology, surgical case delay, LOS on DOS, and total LOS were assessed.

Results: 439 patients underwent TL for nonpalpable breast cancer or high-risk lesions between July 2018 and July 2021 at our institutions. 158 TL procedures were performed on the DOS and 281 TL procedures were performed a median of 3 days prior to the DOS (range 1-28). All intended targets were removed. The median total LOS (time in radiology and surgery) was 336 min and 434 min for the early placement group and DOS group, respectively (p < 0.001). The median length of time in radiology was 47 min for the early placement group and 54 min for the DOS group (p < 0.001). Cases were significantly more likely to be delayed (p = 0.002) and could not be first-start cases if TL was performed on DOS. Vasovagal events during TL and narcotic use in the post-operative setting were rare across both groups.

Conclusions: TL prior to DOS was associated with a decrease in total LOS (p < 0.001) and case delay (p = 0.002), as well as an increase in first-start cases. These findings suggest the potential superiority of TL prior to DOS.

射频识别标签放置的时机:早期放置能节省时间和患者体验吗?
目的:射频识别标签定位(TL)是一种定位无法触及的乳腺癌和高危病变的方法,可以在手术前(DOS)进行。我们评估了在DOS之前放置TL是否会影响患者的住院时间(LOS)并提高手术准时开始。方法:回顾性回顾切除活检和肿瘤切除术与TL。评估TL时间(DOS与先前)、放射学时间、手术病例延迟、DOS的LOS和总LOS之间的关系。结果:2018年7月至2021年7月期间,439例患者因不可触及的乳腺癌或高危病变接受了TL治疗。在DOS上进行了158例TL手术,在DOS前3天(范围1-28天)进行了281例TL手术。所有预定目标都被移除。早期放置组和DOS组的中位总LOS(放射学和手术时间)分别为336分钟和434分钟(p)

期刊介绍: Breast Cancer Research and Treatment provides the surgeon, radiotherapist, medical oncologist, endocrinologist, epidemiologist, immunologist or cell biologist investigating problems in breast cancer a single forum for communication. The journal creates a "market place" for breast cancer topics which cuts across all the usual lines of disciplines, providing a site for presenting pertinent investigations, and for discussing critical questions relevant to the entire field. It seeks to develop a new focus and new perspectives for all those concerned with breast cancer.
