[Surgical treatment of non-palpable breast tumors].
METHODS
Between 1997 and 2000 the authors performed 110 fine-wire localized breast biopsies in patients with nonpalpable suspicious lesions.


RESULTS
108 target lesions (98.1%) were accurately excised during the initial surgery. Overall, 56 lesions were malignant, among these cases 50 invasive carcinomas and 6 DCIS were found. Breast conservation was achieved in 48 patients (88.5%), simple mastectomy with axillary lymph node sampling was performed in 8 cases. 86% of the invasive malignant lesions belonged to the good prognostic subgroup of the Nottingham Prognostic Index.


CONCLUSIONS
There in an importance of the close cooperation between radiologist, surgeon, pathologist and oncologist in the treatment of nonpalpable preclinical breast carcinomas.
