Breast Biopsy
Articles and resources for Breast Biopsy in Oncologic Surgery.
A breast biopsy is a medical procedure used to remove a small sample of breast tissue for examination under a microscope. This procedure is often considered when imaging tests, such as mammograms or ultrasounds, reveal abnormalities that may indicate the presence of breast cancer or other conditions. Common reasons for a biopsy include the identification of lumps, suspicious areas, or changes in breast tissue that warrant further investigation. The goal is to determine whether any abnormal cells are present and to provide a definitive diagnosis.
The procedure can be performed in several ways, depending on the specific circumstances. A core needle biopsy, for example, uses a hollow needle to extract tissue, while an excisional biopsy involves surgically removing a larger section of tissue. Patients can expect to receive local anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The duration varies, but most biopsies can be completed within a short timeframe, and patients may be able to return home the same day. After the biopsy, the tissue sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis.
While a breast biopsy can provide crucial information for diagnosis and treatment planning, it is not without risks. Some potential benefits include early detection of cancer, which can lead to more effective treatment options. However, risks may involve discomfort, bruising, or infection at the biopsy site. Additionally, there may be anxiety associated with waiting for results, as well as the possibility of false positives or negatives, which can complicate the diagnostic process.
