Generally a biopsy is recommended when there is some sort of abnormality on a physical examination or a radiology test. A breast cancer biopsy is a procedure that allows the doctor to take away a small amount of tissue from the breast the tissue is then taken to a lab for examination. There are various biopsy practices that can be performed. Local anesthetic is a procedure that is used to numb a individual region. General anesthesia can be used too; which permits a patient to be sedated throughout the whole procedure.  The size and location of the lump or abnormality is what decides the type of procedure that will be used for the breast cancer biopsy.

There are different types of biopsies that can be preformed and because of this fact it is recommended to discuss which option is best for you with your health care provider. One process includes using a fine needle aspirate. This method is recommended to divide a cyst from a lump. The fine needle aspirate is used to remove fluid from the lump. Open or surgical biopsy can also be performed. This method frequently calls for general anesthetic in which a surgeon will take away part or the whole lump from the affected area. An incision is made in the breast and the tissue is then taken away. Incisional biopsy and Excisional biopsy are two types of surgical biopsies that can be used to remove suspicious or cancerous tissue from the breast.  Incisional biopsy is when a small amount of the lump is taken away whereas Excisional biopsy the whole lump is taken out. A wire localization technique is also used. This is done when the lump is small, deep and difficult to locate. The technique uses a special wire which is place into the lump using x-ray guidance. The surgeon then follows that wire to locate where the lump is within the breast.

Minimally Invasive Biopsies

Women are beginning to seek practices that are less invasive and disturbing to the body. Less scarring of the breast tissue is also something that women request. Special instruments and techniques are used to make this possible. By using modern day technology, like Mammograms & computers, surgeons are now able to see 3D images which help find the exact location of the breast lump or suspicious tissue and remove it with a needle.

Ultrasound-guided biopsy

Ultrasonic waves are created by a computer and transducer which will create an image of the breast lump or mass. The procedure helps guide the needle while the surgeon is taking the biopsy. This procedure is called the ultrasound-guided biopsy. The stereotactic and ultrasound-guided techniques can be assisted by a mamma tone breast cancer biopsy system which is also knows as a vacuumed assistant biopsy. A tube is put into the breast lump or mass and the breast tissue is gently suctioned into the tube and a rotating knife then removes the tissue. The handheld mammogram device has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration since 1999.

Best MRI

Articles that have recently been published propose that women who have certain risks would be able to gain from a breast MRI or magnetic resonance imaging test. The magnetic resonance imaging test uses magnetic field and radio waves to make a computer image of the breast. This practice required no radiation or x-rays.  The radiological testing will benefit women by providing more information about the breast tissue and may prevent unnecessary biopsies.
