1. A long term implantable active detection system comprising:
a site marker for deployment in a breast biopsy cavity in a breast, the site marker comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, performs a method comprising:
when implanted in the breast biopsy cavity, detecting data related to a human body in the breast biopsy cavity in real-time, wherein the data comprises one or more biochemical parameters;
transmitting the data to an external monitoring device located outside of the breast;
receiving feedback from the external monitoring device, wherein the feedback relates to the transmitted data and anatomical measurements related to a portion of the breast adjacent the breast biopsy cavity, the anatomical measurements comprising at least one of diameter, length, phenotype, and lesion distribution;
based on the feedback, adjusting a set of biochemical parameters to be monitored; and
monitoring the adjusted set of biochemical parameters to modify a cancer treatment.
