Breast biopsy is the most informative diagnostic method for confirming or excluding oncological diseases in the mammary glands. If a tumor is detected, a breast biopsy allows you to determine the nature of the tumor, which is necessary for the appointment of optimal and effective treatment.
A biopsy of the breast (the price depends on the method of conducting) is carried out as prescribed by an oncologist or mammologist, when uncharacteristic changes are detected in the breast.
Types of breast biopsy:
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the breast (tapb of the breast) - the removal of fluid or tissue is performed using a thin needle. It is mainly carried out with cysts of the mammary gland.
- Stereotactic biopsy - the removal of tumor tissue, carried out under the direction of x-rays
- Core-needle biopsy of the breast (trephine biopsy) - a special needle and a burr gun are used to take the material
- Using ultrasound or MRI
- Excisional biopsy of a breast tumor - removal of the entire tumor is done
