Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I want to understand what breast lump biopsy is and what other treatments are available.Doctor's answer:
A breast lump is discovered. Sometimes, to confirm the nature of the lump, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy needs to be performed. In this case, the lump is punctured using a large biopsy needle. The puncture method involves sterilizing the skin before inserting a thick biopsy needle directly into the mass. The biopsy needle is equipped with a specially designed hook mechanism to retrieve tissue for biopsy. Alternatively, a thin needle connected to a negative-pressure syringe can be used to aspirate tissue, followed by histological or cytological examination.
