COMPARISON OF I-125 SEED MARKING AND WIRE MARKING METHODS USED FOR BREAST TUMOR LOCALIZATION

Abstract

It is very important to accurately determine the location of the lesion in order to accurately excise the tumor area in the breast tissue. The method used to determine the location of the lesion should not only contribute to the precise excision of the lesion, but also help to minimize the loss of healthy tissue during the excision procedure. In addition, the product applied in the localization method to be used before the excision procedure contributes to the success of the operation, as well as the low possibility of complications, contribution to patient satisfaction, ease of application for the practitioner, cost, time saving, ease of coordination and planning between different departments, and reduction of repetition. supplies. However, different localization methods have advantages and disadvantages compared to each other. At this point, the authorized doctor determines the localization method to be applied before the excision of the breast tissue, considering the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. In this study, the method of marking with I-125 Seed, which is used to determine the location of the lesion before excision of the tumor area in the breast tissue, was mentioned and compared with the method of marking with wire, which is an alternative application.
