However, you may be asked to stop taking blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin (Jantoven) or aspirin, in the days before your biopsy. If you have symptoms and have been referred to a specialist breast unit by a GP, you'll probably be invited to have a mammogram, which is an X-ray of your breasts. Microdochectomy (single duct excision) is the only procedure that will confirm a definitive histological diagnosis in a patient that presents with single duct discharge. Find out about breast cancer treatments, where and how you have them, and how to cope with possible side effects.

This is done so that if the biopsy shows cancer cells or precancerous cells, your doctor or surgeon can locate the biopsy area to remove more breast tissue during an operation (surgical biopsy). In some cases, breast cancer cells can be stimulated to grow by hormones that occur naturally in your body, such as oestrogen and progesterone. Imaging procedures are sometimes done before your needle biopsy and sometimes performed during the biopsy. Your doctor may send a swab of the nipples to be cultured, to identify the most appropriate antibiotic to use. Your health care team will position you in a way that makes it safe for the doctor to access the area where the needle will be inserted.Once your provider has located the suspicious area of your breast using the MRI image, they’ll perform the biopsy. They then use a vacuum-powered instrument to suction multiple, tiny samples of your breast tissue into the center of the biopsy needle. For a CNB, the doctor uses a hollow needle to take out pieces of breast tissue from a suspicious area the doctor has felt on exam or has seen on an imaging test.

Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy: During this breast biopsy, your radiologist uses an ultrasound machine to guide the needle to the area in your breast that they need to remove for biopsy. During this procedure, the doctor uses a hollow needle to take out pieces of breast tissue from the area of concern. A needle biopsy may reveal whether a mass or lump is a cyst, an infection, a benign tumor or cancer. The needle used during a core needle biopsy is a hollow tube that allows the doctor to extract a sample of tissue for testing.If it's not clear why you're having one type of biopsy instead of another, ask your doctor to explain. This type of core needle biopsy involves ultrasound — an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce precise images of structures within the body.
