If you do have a breast cancer, we will explain all your options in some detail at your result clinic and will help you make the best decisions about your treatment.
Most breast biopsies involve the use of an imaging machine or material guidance method to help guide your healthcare provider to the area in your breast that they need to biopsy.During the procedure, a needle is attached to a gentle suction tube, which helps to obtain the sample and clear any bleeding from the area. Our team is made up of doctors and oncology certified nurses with deep knowledge of cancer care as well as journalists, editors, and translators with extensive experience in medical writing. Mammogram-guided biopsy (stereotactic biopsy): During this breast biopsy, your healthcare provider uses mammogram images, which are special X-ray images, to help find the area of your breast that they need to biopsy. You meet members of your treatment team and you can sign the consent form to agree to the operation. There are, however, still some lesions that we would prefer to remove by a surgical operation, which would require a general anaesthetic.
A CNB is likely to clearly show if cancer is present (and often provides enough of a sample if other lab tests are needed), but it can still miss some cancers. Occasionally, the use of a nipple shield for breastfeeding with flat or inverted nipples is helpful – the clear silicone types are the most suitable. Contact your healthcare team if the area becomes red or hot, you have pain rather than discomfort or if the pain is getting worse. This is done so that if the biopsy shows cancer cells or precancerous cells, your doctor or surgeon can locate the biopsy area to remove more breast tissue during an operation (surgical biopsy). You’ll likely lie stomach-down on an exam table with your breast that your provider is going to biopsy positioned through a hole in the table.The tissue sample is sent to a lab, where doctors who specialize in analyzing blood and body tissue (pathologists) examine the tissue sample and provide a diagnosis.
