Breast biopsy
A breast biopsy is a medical procedure used to gather a tissue sample from the breast for further testing. It’s typically done to determine whether a lump or abnormal area is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

Reduced need for invasive procedures
Reduced need for more invasive procedures such as surgery.
Increased accuracy
Increased accuracy and certainty of diagnosis, leading to better treatment options.
Biopsy Methods
Fine needle aspiration biopsy
A thin needle is inserted into the suspicious area to withdraw a sample of cells.
Stereotactic biopsy
X-ray technology is used to guide the biopsy needle to the abnormal area.
Vacuum assisted biopsies
This is a minimally invasive procedure using a local anaesthetic with a small incision, to sample small breast abnormalities.
