Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Study Population

Participants will be recruited to this study from the Moffitt Cancer Center Comprehensive Breast Clinic. Patients are seen in this clinic by breast surgeons from the Comprehensive Breast Program at Moffitt Cancer Center.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants must have at least one and up to 3 sonographically or mammographically identifiable in-breast or axillary targets and consent to undergo a surgical resection using the SmartClip localization system at the McKinley operative suites at Moffitt Cancer Center. Multiple sites for localization may be used, up to a maximum of 3 SmartClips per patient. Mammographically or sonographically visible biopsy clips may be used as a localizing target.
  • Participants must be age > or = 18 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with sonographically or mammographically occult target lesions
  • Participants with greater than 35cm chest to bust depth
  • Participants undergoing mastectomy for resection of the targeted lesion

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Participants receiving SmartClip
Participants will undergo a preoperative physical exam and at least one preoperative ultrasound demonstrating the mass for resection. The SmartClip will be placed under ultrasound guidance. Post-placement mammogram will be obtained after placement of the clip. The SmartClip can be placed up to 30 days prior to the planned surgical resection. At the time of definitive surgery, the Envisio system will be used to identify the clip and the targeted lesion for resection. Intraoperatively, a specimen radiograph will be performed to confirm the presence of the SmartClip and the targeted lesion in the surgical specimen. The breast surgical specimen will be sent for gross examination, including measurements of the tumor in 3 axes. Immediately post-procedure, the performing surgeon will fill out a questionnaire to determine the ability of localizing in-breast lesions using the Envisio Navigation and SmartClip system in surgery.
Device: EnVisio SmartClip
The Envisio SmartClip is an FDA-cleared (approved) device for localization of in-breast lesions. While using The EnVisio™ Navigation System, the system will detect the presence of the SmartClip™ Soft Tissue Marker(s) and provide real-time three-dimensional navigation during the surgery.
Device: EnVisio™ Navigation System
The EnVisio™ Navigation System acquires and analyzes electromagnetic signatures that display the relative distance, depth, and direction from the tip of the electrosurgical tool to the implanted SmartClipTM(s) within the surgeon's field of view during the procedure.
Radiologist Placing SmartClip
Radiologist will place SmartClip under ultrasound guidance. A Post-placement mammogram will be obtained after placement of the SmartClip. Immediately post-procedure, the performing radiologist will fill out a questionnaire.
