Wire-guided localization in non-palpable breast cancer. Results from monocentric experience

Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is considered the gold-standard treatment for early breast cancer. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy or stereotactic biopsy of a breast lesion allows preoperative histological diagnosis. Various techniques have been proposed for identifying non-palpable breast tumors, but the most popular method is the wire-guided localization (WGL) technique. The aim of this study was to propose an alternative technique for optimizing the WGL procedure, facilitating breast surgery and reducing complications.
