First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tested two ways to mark non-palpable breast tumors before surgery: a tiny iodine seed versus a standard metal wire. 350 women with early breast cancer took part. The goal was to see if the seed method leads to cleaner surgical margins and less pain. Results help doctors choose the best technique for precise tumor removal.
