Abstract

Metallic markers were implanted with ultrasonographic guidance in 51 malignant breast tumors bed in anticipation of complete or almost complete response to preoperative neoadjuvant induction chemotherapy before breast- conservation surgery. The markers were the only remaining evidence of the original tumor site in 47% (23 of 49) of the patients preoperatively. This technique effectively addresses the problem of preoperative localization of the tumor bed in complete or nearly complete response of breast cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
