Optimizing breast cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-09-18 .txt text/plain 1509 73 39 These issues are best addressed through the application of currently available medical technology and enhanced training in advanced oncoplastic techniques, which extend the limits of breast conservation. However, the logistical issues of operating in a remote hub away from a surgeon's base hospital in turn poses potential challenges-particularly to breast cancer surgery. There currently are 3 CE-marked radioisotope-independent seed localization technologies (Magseed-Endomag, Cambridge, UK; Localizer-Hologic, MA, USA; Savi Scout-Cianna Medical, Aliso Viejo, USA) and all could potentially be placed into any suspicious lesion at the time of core-biopsy and should the lesion be confirmed as requiring excision, the patient would not require a further localization procedure prior to definitive surgery. This has meant a situation has been created whereby more locally advanced cancers are potentially going to warrant more radical treatment in terms of mastectomy and less of an opportunity for breast conservation than if PST was available. ./cache/cord-350700-cmwy5we8.txt ./txt/cord-350700-cmwy5we8.txt
