Types of Breast Biopsy

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO
  • What is a breast biopsy:
    • A breast biopsy is the removal of a sample of breast tissue so that it can be tested for breast cancer.
    • This can be done in a few ways>
      • With a core needle biopsy, ultrasound or MRI guidance may be used
      • With an open procedure, stereotactic surgery or wire localization may be recommended to make sure the biopsy samples the abnormality
    • Overall:
      • 70% to 80% of biopsies will be negative for cancer, but they may reveal benign breast diseases or conditions that predispose you to breast cancer.

 

  • A breast biopsy may be done in one of several ways:
    • Fine needle aspiration:
      • This involves inserting a thin needle through the skin in order to collect a sample of cells. It is particularly helpful in distinguishing fluid-filled cysts from solid masses
    • Core needle biopsy:
      • This requires the use of a larger needle than a fine needle biopsy and removes a core of tissue, rather than a collection of cells. It is often done using ultrasound or MRI for guidance
    • Open (surgical) biopsy:
      • An open biopsy may be incisional (involving the removal of part of the abnormality) or excisional (removing all of the abnormality)
