Biopsy

A breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove a small sample of breast tissue for laboratory analysis. It is the most accurate method for diagnosing breast cancer and distinguishing between benign and malignant growths. Dr. Ananya, an experienced oncoplastic breast surgeon, performs different types of biopsies based on the nature and location of the abnormality.

The most common types of breast biopsies include:

  • Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB): Uses a thin needle to extract fluid or tissue from a suspicious area.

  • Core Needle Biopsy (CNB): A larger needle is used to collect multiple tissue samples, providing a more comprehensive diagnosis.

  • Stereotactic Biopsy: Uses mammogram-guided imaging to pinpoint and sample suspicious areas.

  • Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy: Utilizes real-time ultrasound to ensure precise tissue sampling.

  • Surgical Biopsy: This involves removing a part or the entire lump for further examination.

Breast biopsies are typically performed under local anesthesia and take about 30 to 60 minutes. Patients may experience mild discomfort or bruising, but recovery is usually quick. Dr. Ananya ensures a seamless and comfortable experience, providing personalized care and guidance throughout the process.

Early and accurate diagnosis through biopsy enables timely treatment planning, significantly improving patient outcomes. If you have been advised to undergo a biopsy or seek expert consultation, Contact Dr. Ananya to schedule an appointment.
