Core Tip	Despite improved survival and local recurrence rates of breast cancer patients in the past years, there is still much to be gained in surgical treatment. Unacceptable rates of involved margins are described, with up to 25% of the patients undergoing re-excision after breast conserving surgery. The most frequently used excision methods are wire-guided and radioguided localization for non-palpable tumours and palpation-guided localization for palpable tumours. Although ultrasound-guided surgery is a simple and non-invasive technique, it is not frequently used. This review highlights the position of ultrasound-guided surgery for breast cancer in the search for better oncological and cosmetic outcomes.
