Biopsy
    

Directory Listing(s) :


Benign breast disease can increase your risk of breast cancer.

Breast biospy, whether surgical or needle aspiration, is performed after a suggestive mammogram to determine whether a lump is malignant or benign.

This site is dedicated to evaluating your choices to help you talk with your doctor about the breast biopsy procedure that is right for you. One of those choices is a minimally invasive breast biopsy for breast cancer diagnosis using the Mammotome® Breast Biopsy System.

Women who opt for sentinel lymph node biopsy -- the latest way to determine if invasive breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes -- can lower the risk of misdiagnosis by first checking their doctor’s or institution’s success rates with the new test.
