DEMYSTIFYING THE BREAST BIOPSY

The breast biopsy is sometimes the step that comes after you have found a breast mass or after an anomaly has been noted on your breast exam. This tissue sampling is meant to further determine the nature of you lesion and achieve a precise diagnosis. It can be done in your doctor’s clinic, or under imaging guidance in a diagnostic radiology department.
