AbstractWire-guided localization is the most commonly used technique for intraoperative localization of non-palpable breast cancer. Radioactive seed localization (RSL) is becoming more popular and seems to be a reliable alternative for intraoperative lesion localization. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate the use of RSL. Primary study outcomes were irradicality and re-excision rates. In total 3168 patients were included. The clinical adaptation shows growing confidence in RSL and further growth is expected.© 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
