ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of needle stereotaction marking by steel wire(NSMSW) under mammography for nonpalpable early stage breast carcinoma (BC). Methods 29 patients with nonpalpable breast lesions were performed NSMSW under mammography,and the lesions were removed for biopsy to make the diagnosis. Results Nine patients(31.0%) were definited as early stage BC and twenty(69.0%) benign disease.The pathologic results in freezing sections and in parafin sections were the same. Conclusions NSMSW under mammography can resolve the problem of accurate location of nonpalpable breast lesions during operation .It is a credible, useful and practical method for diagnosis of nonpalpable early stage BC.
