Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of FDA-cleared SAVI SCOUT Breast Localization and Surgical Guidance System (SCOUT) over a longer duration prior to surgery. The device is a non-wire system, which uses nonradioactive light-activated radar, to provide breast surgeons with real-time guidance to locate and remove the target lesion in the breast and/or axillary tissue. The SCOUT device standard of care use is placement up to 30 days prior to surgery to assist surgeons in the localization and retrieval of breast/axillary lesions. Routine image-guided methods (Mammography, Ultrasound, and CT) are used. In this study, investigators will assess the longer term placement of the SCOUT device over an extended time (31 - 365 days) in order to address the needs of patients who require neoadjuvant treatment prior to definitive surgery.

- description
- The study population consists of 25 - 35 adult surgical patient volunteers who plan to have definitive breast cancer surgery at Memorial Healthcare System (MHS) Hospitals after neoadjuvant treatment. The investigator will identify subjects who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria, obtain patient's consent and schedule the subject for the SAVI SCOUT Surgical Guidance System procedure. All study participants will receive the same treatment assignment, i.e. lesion localization with the SCOUT device 31 - 365 days prior to surgery. Neoadjuvant treatment decisions will be determined by patient's medical oncologist.

- The primary endpoint of this study is successful surgery. Successful surgery (defined as one where the device stays in place and can be removed successfully during surgery) when this device is placed 31 - 365 days prior to surgery. Unsuccessful surgery is defined as one where the device does not stay in place and/or cannot be removed successfully during surgery) when this device is placed 31 - 365 days prior to surgery.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient is willing and able to provide informed consent. Patient SCOUT device(s) is placed as part of routine care or study but before neoadjuvant treatment begins. * Patient is female. * Patient is between the ages of 18 and 90 years. * Patient has breast cancer and will undergo neoadjuvant therapy and excision at Memorial Healthcare System. * Patient is willing and able to comply with all study procedures and be available to follow-up for the duration of the study (1 - 13 months). * Patient reads or understands English or Spanish. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient is pregnant. * Patient has pacemaker or implantable defibrillators (These have not been bench tested as of September 2016). * Patient has known or suspected nickel allergy. * Patient is scheduled or receiving investigational drugs for neoadjuvant regimen. (This could confound UADE of this device.) * Patient has any condition that would place the individual at increased risk or preclude the individual's full compliance with or completion of the study. * Patient has other malignancy except for adequately treated and cured basal or squamous cancer, curatively treated in situ disease or any other cancer for which the patient has been disease free for greater than or equal to 5 years.
