Abstract

Currently, breast cancer being of rapidly increasing incidence rates and as the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor in breast surgery, has attracted much attention. Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) has been proved to be beneficial for reducing tumor size and breast-conserving surgery. As a new type of metal localization marker, breast tissue marker clips can be used to precisely locate tumor tissue and improve cure rates. This review focuses on the marker clips and their significance in the diagnosis and treatment of neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer, hoping to provide more clinical bases for research and promote this technology.
