Minimally Invasive Breast Biopsy (Mammotome)

There are various breast biopsy options to consider. The choices range from an open surgical procedure to new minimally invasive techniques. Minimally invasive breast biopsy, or mammotome biopsy, involves taking a tissue sample from the suspicious area of the breast to determine whether the breast lump is cancerous.

While the thought of having a breast biopsy might be frightening, the results can provide reassuring peace of mind. Remember, the vast majority of breast biopsies do not turn out to be breast cancer. And a biopsy is currently the only way to achieve an accurate breast cancer diagnosis.
