Breast Tissue Edge Check During Surgery

Alabama rates for HCPCS 0546T

During breast-conserving cancer surgery, a handheld probe is touched to the surface of the tissue that has just been taken out to check whether cancer cells reach the cut edge. The reading comes back while the operation is still under way, so the surgeon can remove a little more tissue straight away instead of bringing the patient back for a second operation.
