Indications for Breast Biopsy

RSS Feeds   Text 
Breast biopsy involves removing a sample of breast tissue to determine whether it is cancerous or benign (non-cancerous).

Breast abnormality can be detected by Physical examination, Mammography, Ultrasound and other breast imaging methods.

Biopsy followed by Pathological (Microscopic) examination of breast tissue is the only definitive way to determine the Cancer Pathology.

"It is estimated that over 48 million mammograms are performed each year and that less than one million of them (less than 5%) are recalled to undergo a biopsy"
