Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Radar localisation is a wireless localisation technique which involves using SAVI SCOUT® radar localisation. This involves insertion of a tiny electromagnetic wave reflector into the target tissue using an introducer needle delivery system under mammogram or ultrasound guidance by an interventional breast radiologist. The reflector is activated by infrared light impulses generated by the console probe and uses two antennas to reflect an electromagnetic wave signal back to the handpiece to provide real-time directionality and proximity information. The allocated duration of the insertion of the device is one hour. It will be scheduled at least one day prior to the surgery date.

The trial is non-randomised. Participants will be allocated to the intervention group if they consent for participation. Otherwise, they will be allocated to the control group. Participants in the intervention group will undergo RL using the Savi Scout® device while the control group will undergo standard of care wire localisation (WL) using Kopans hookwire.

Comparator / control treatment
Wire localisation involves the Kopans wire, a stainless steel 0.3 mm diameter wire with a proximal reinforced portion and a spring hook to anchor to the tissue surrounding the lesion. The reinforced portion provides a visual and palpable landmark to allow the surgeon to judge the distance to the lesion during dissection. Preoperative localisation involves a planning ultrasound to locate the lesion. After local anaesthesia, and under ultrasound guidance, the hookwire will be advanced through the lesion and the needle deployed by an interventional breast radiologist. Four to 6 cm of the wire was left to protrude from the skin and a mammogram will be used to confirm the position following the procedure. The allocated duration of the insertion of the device is one hour. It will be scheduled within 24-48 hours of the surgery date.
