PURPOSE: Recent studies have established the safety and efficacy of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide (SPIO, Magtrace®) for delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who are undergoing mastectomy. The aim of our study was to measure cost containment with use of Magtrace® in comparison to upfront SLNB with traditional technetium-99 lymphatic tracer.
METHODS: A total of 41 patients at our institution underwent mastectomy with Magtrace® injection for DCIS and were included in our single-institution, retrospective analysis. For comparison, total charges data were obtained for an upfront SLNB at the time of mastectomy. Cost comparison analysis was then performed against charges for intraoperative Magtrace® injection with additional charges incorporated for those patients who required return to the operating room for delayed SLNB. Total cost containment for the cohort with use of Magtrace® was then measured.
RESULTS: Of the 41 patients who underwent Magtrace® injection, two patients required return to the operating room for a delayed SLNB for invasive disease. Including these charges for a second encounter into our cost analysis, the use of Magtrace® still yielded an overall cost containment of $205,793.55 in our cohort when comparing to patients who underwent upfront SLNB. For patients who underwent Magtrace® injection and did not require return to the operating room, charges were reduced by $6,768.52 per patient.
CONCLUSION: The use of Magtrace® for delayed SLNB in patients with DCIS undergoing mastectomy yielded a significant overall cost containment, further supporting its use in this patient population.
