    METHOD: Between 1997 and 2000 the authors performed 110 fine-wire localized breast biopsies in patients with nonpalpable suspicious lesions. RESULTS: 108 target lesions (98.1%) were accurately excised during the initial surgery. Overall, 56 lesions were malignant, among these cases 50 invasive carcinomas and 6 DCIS were found. Breast conservation was achieved in 48 patients (88.5%), simple mastectomy with axillary lymph node sampling was performed in 8 cases. 86% of the invasive malignant lesions belonged to the good prognostic subgroup of the Nottingham Prognostic Index.
