Abstract
Background: The number of early-stage breast cancers (BC) continues to increase each year due to technical advances achieved by screening mammography. At least 25-35% of BC are non-palpable at diagnosis and require a localization procedure to guide intraoperative identification and surgical resection. The wire-guided localization (WGL) is considered the standard technique and is the most widely used technique for the localization of BC tumors. Carbon localization (CL) is an alternative procedure, first reported by Svane in 1983, and is the current procedure used for BC tumors localization at Institut Jules Bordet since 1990.
