Abstract

Studies comparing wire localized excision (WLE) and radioactive seed localized excision (RSLE) may not reflect community hospital practice. To compare the oncologic safety and operating room time, we performed a large retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent WLE or RSLE in a community hospital. RSLE had shorter operation time and smaller surgical specimens relative to WLE but no differences in the positive margin rates.
