Abstract
Non-palpable breast cancers are more and more frequent. Their surgical management requires the excision of the tumor and sentinel lymph node (SLN) needing a technical preoperative organization combining preoperative identification of the tumor by wire guide and injection of a radioactive tracer for the identification of SLN. The implementation of this minimally invasive surgery is sometimes paradoxically complicated due to the presurgical organization requiring several medical teams. It is for this reason that hand-held gamma-cameras have been developed, used either preoperatively or during surgery to replace lymphoscintigraphy but also as a help to excision of the tumor after radioisotope injection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interest of the main hand-held gamma-cameras used in breast cancer.
