Optimization of wire-guided technique with bracketing reduces resection volumes in breast-conserving surgery for early breast cancer

Background: Wire-guided localization (WGL) of early breast cancer can be facilitated using multiple wires, which is called bracketing wire-guided localization (BWL). The primary aim of this study is to compare BWL and conventional WGL regarding minimization of resection volumes without compromising margin status. Secondly, BWL is evaluated as an alternative method for intra-operative ultrasound (US) guidance in poorly definable breast tumors on ultrasound.
