SURGICAL APPROACH FOR MINIMAL BREAST LESIONS IN THE MATERIAL OF THE CENTER, USING PREOPERATIVE INSERTION OF METAL IDENTIFICATION WIRE

In the pursuit of the detection of early subclinical forms of breast cancer, and with regard to the advancement in screening programs, the wire-guided excision is irreplaceable in the diagnostic and therapy of benign and malignant breast lesions. In the 15-year period (1. 1. 1991 – 31. 12. 2005) we have performed surgery on 21 826 patients. 7 845 (35,9 %) of them were surgically treated for breast disease, including patients (311 cases) with other operation (secondary suture, surgery for infection, debridement...). 3 383 patients were treated for benign, 4 151 for malignant lesions. out of the total of 7 534 patients, 6 332 (84,0 %) were treated for palpable lesions, 1 202 (16,0 %) for non-palpable lesions, with the localization needle. In this article we present the analysis of clinical material of the Clinic of surgery of the National oncological Institute (NOÚ).
