Surgical intervention Breast Biopsy

To take a tissue sample, there are some techniques that are now often under additional fluoroscopy or ultrasound display. Here differ essentially diameter needle or tube used and therefore the number of samples collected. Now maybe almost all the findings of unusual or suspicious in the chest with a minimally invasive method for biopsy (biopsy closed) without surgery should be performed.

According to previous research location make the biopsy procedure is a minimally invasive diagnostic method that is safe for definitive diagnosis is reached. The risk of "remnants of cells" and the consequent formation of new tumor focus is low, even if not completely ruled out.

Process in detail:

Fine-needle aspiration (minimally invasive)

Punch biopsy (minimally invasive)

Stereotactic biopsy procedures (minimally invasive)

Culling - with surgical tissue removal

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (fine needle biopsy, FNB, Mamma puncture)

The Mamma puncture used to diagnose eye-catching touch or breast ultrasound findings (milk). By way of special syringes and needles are very thin (0.5mm) cells removed by vacuum from the suspect or the node network. Puncture is done without local anesthesia and is no more painful than a blood sample. You do a "freehand" without the support of ultrasound or x-ray images. The cells were extracted and examined colored by a pathologist. The results are often present on the same day. At most, it was a cyst, fibroadenoma or enlarged glandular tissue. False negative results occur when stung by a suspicious network. In a malignant findings result, however, is always meaningful.

This process is particularly suitable for the breast area that is not accessible by core biopsy, as the area behind the nipple, in the armpit or just under the skin.
