Easy and cost-efficient method for tumour localization in patients with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by breast conservation therapy

This article describes placement of a radio-opaque clip for tumour localization to facilitate resection in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by breast conservation therapy. Use of a radio-opaque marker made of stainless steel K-wire and use of a Trucut® needle with a blunt stylet for wire placement in the breast tumour bed is a safe, indigenous, and cost-effective method for tumour localization.
