Abstract
Approximately 30% of screening detected breast cancers are non-palpable, thus must be localized under image guidance to assist with surgical planning. Localization allows breast surgeons to (i) efficiently identify lesions intraoperatively and (ii) resect the lesion with an appropriate margin of surrounding tissue, to ensure negative margins while maintaining optimal cosmetic results. Traditionally, hook-wires have been used in lesion localization, however innovative micro technology exists that could potentially impact practices for this procedure.
