An apparatus for marking a predetermined tumor free margin around a tumor mass (80) is provided. The apparatus includes a needle (20) with one or more margin wires (10) located therein. The margin wires (10) are deployed from the needle (20) at a predetermined distance from a tumor mass (80) so as to form a cage (110) around the tumor mass (80). The cage (110) is used during a lumpectomy operation to guide the surgeon in the removal of the tumor mass (80) with an approximately uniform margin of tumor free tissue.
