    ARTICLE TITLE: THE INTACT BREAST LESION EXCISION SYSTEM AS A THERAPEUTIC DEVICE FOR SELECTED BENIGN BREAST LESIONS DOI: 10.1111/TBJ.12931 THE AIM OF THIS PAPER IS TO EVALUATE OUR UNIT¿S INITIAL EXPERIENCE USING THE INTACT BREAST LESION EXCISION SYSTEM AS A THERAPEUTIC EXCISION OPTION FOR BENIGN OR BORDERLINE BREAST LESIONS, WHICH OTHERWISE WOULD ENTAIL OPEN OPERATIVE EXCISION. THE STUDY INCLUDES THE FIRST 111 PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT THERAPEUTIC EXCISION WITH THE INTACT RADIOFREQUENCY SYSTEM BETWEEN DECEMBER 2012 AND MAY 2016 PERFORMED AT THE MEIRAV CENTER FOR BREAST HEALTH, AT THE (B)(6) MEDICAL CENTER, (B)(6). THE INDICATIONS FOR THE PROCEDURE INCLUDED THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAVE BENIGN, OR ATYPICAL HIGH RISK LESIONS FOLLOWING A PREVIOUS CORE NEEDLE BIOSPY (CNB) WHO WOULD HAVE NORMALLY UNDERGONE CONVENTIONAL EXCISION BIOPSY. AFTER REVIEWING EACH CASE SEPARATELY, (B)(4). THIRTEEN CASES EVENTUALLY HAD TO UNDERGO SURGICAL EXCISION. IN EIGHT CASES PATHOLOGY WAS UPGRADED FROM THE INITIAL CNB TO INVASIVE OR NONINVASIVE CARCINOMA. ALTHOUGH THE INTACT SYSTEM IS MOST COMMONLY USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE BIOPSY TECHNIQUE FOR ITS DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITIES, THIS STUDY ASSESSED ITS CLINICAL ROLE AS A DEFINITIVE THERAPEUTIC EXCISIONAL MODALITY IN SELECTED CASES OF BENIGN BREAST DISEASE. (B)(4). FOUR PATIENTS IN THE COHORT DEVELOPED A HEMATOMA NEAR THE NEEDLE ENTRY SITE WHOM WERE SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED CONSERVATIVELY. FORMATION OF A HEMATOMA WAS THE ONLY OBSERVED COMPLICATION IN THE STUDY. THERE WERE NO PATIENT IDENTIFIERS WITHIN THE ARTICLE, THEREFORE THE PATIENTS WILL BE REPORTED AS A WHOLE AND NO OTHER RECORDS WILL BE CREATED.
