Abstract
Post neoadjuvant chemotherapy tumor localization is a challenge in LMI economy countries. Various options are available in High economy countries. Pre-chemotherapy clinically guided skin tattooing and post chemotherapy USG guided skin marking is a valid technique. In patients with complete clinic-radiological response larger volume resection may be an issue. Head-to-head comparison between skin marking and parenchymal marking is needed to make a conclusive statement.
