Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide, with surgery still serving as the primary treatment modality. Up to 30% of breast cancers are impalpable at diagnosis, necessitating lesion localisation. Currently, wire-guided localisation remains the gold standard for managing non-palpable lesions. However, inherent limitations of this technique, combined with recent technological advances, have driven a progressive shift toward non-wire localisation methods. Similarly, the management of axillary tumours has evolved, moving from radical axillary surgery toward more conservative approaches, such as targeted axillary dissection.This book, the first dedicated solely to these topics, provides an up-to-date guide on current trends, advanced knowledge, and practical skills. To support practitioners—including surgeons, radiologists, radiographers, and multidisciplinary teams—in updating their skills for daily clinical practice, this work provides a comprehensive overview of current trends, emerging knowledge, and practical tips.

She graduated from Stanley Medical College, India, followed by postgraduate training in General Surgery, and completed her MD (Research) on aromatase inhibitors at the University of Edinburgh. She has introduced and mentored several surgical innovations, including muscle-sparing implant-based breast reconstruction. Dedicated to teaching and training, Dr Vidya is an enthusiastic Higher Surgical Trainer who delivers lectures and runs workshops as invited faculty at national and international meetings. In her role as the Royal College International Surgical Training Programme Lead for Breast Surgery, she is strongly committed to advancing breast surgery training in the UK and globally. She serves as Honorary Secretary and Trustee of the Association of Breast Surgery, actively contributing to its strategic and professional work.Dr Vidya has a strong focus on clinical research, with over 160 peer-reviewed publications. She has authored two books on breast reconstruction, an eBook on Global Breast Training in collaboration with the Royal College of Surgeons and the Association of Breast Surgery, and two additional eBooks focused on UK surgical training for international trainees. She promotes the clinical application of genomics within the NHS through her role as Associate Director of Genomics for the West Midlands. She is actively involved in clinical trials and has a special interest in oncoplastic breast surgery, emerging technologies, and advances in breast surgery.Dr Nisha Sharma is Director of the breast screening programme for Leeds and Wakefield and a consultant breast radiologist. She is active in research and audit and is recognised as a national and international speaker. She developed the UK breast screening guidelines on how to manage high risk lesions. She is also involved in several trials looking to minimise over treatment while supporting risk adapted screening. She is actively involved in studies involving artificial intelligence. She is board in a large number of committees, is audit lead for the British Society of Radiology and sits on the scientific committee for EUSOBI.
