The Operative Word Highlights Fluoroscopic Intraoperative Breast Neoplasm and Node Detection

In this episode, host Jamie Coleman, MD, FACS, is joined by Roi Weiser, MD, from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Suzanne Klimberg, MD, PhD, MSHCT, FACS, from the Division of Surgical Oncology at The University of Texas Medical Branch. They discuss a new study in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons showing that fluoroscopic intraoperative neoplasm and node detection can be used to localize the biopsy clip marking a nonpalpable breast or axillary lesion, obviating the need for an additional procedure to insert a localization device.
