A braided suture fiducial metallic marker system includes a braided suture fiducial metallic marker system includes a metallic marker, a multiplicity of suture threads (absorbable or non-absorbable), braided with one another and encapsulating the marker, and a needle disposed at a distal end of the multiplicity of threads and a needle disposed at an opposite distal end. In this regard, a portion of the braided suture threads in which the marker is encapsulated may be visually demarcated with a contrasting color. As well, the marker may define a cavity which may in turn, contain a radioactive material. As another option, a single one of the multiplicity of suture threads may extend through one end of the cavity to another end of the cavity so that the single one of the multiplicity of threads is braided with others of the multiplicity of suture threads.
