Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Breast Imaging

Background:

  • Advanced Breast Biopsy Instrumentation (ABBI) offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional stereotactic and open needle biopsies.
  • This technique utilizes digital stereotactic imaging for excisional biopsies of nonpalpable mammographic lesions.
  • The clinical role of ABBI in breast cancer management required further definition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of the ABBI system.
  • To assess the utility of ABBI as a therapeutic tool for breast cancer.
  • To analyze outcomes in patients with nonpalpable mammographic lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 107 patients undergoing 110 ABBI procedures over 12 months.

  • Evaluation of mammographic abnormalities including architectural distortion, microcalcifications, and densities.
  • Assessment of diagnostic accuracy via specimen radiography, stereotactic imaging, pathology, and follow-up mammography.

    • Main Results:

    • 99% accuracy in localizing and biopsying mammographic abnormalities.
    • Low complication rates: two wound hematomas and one wound infection.
    • Diagnosed 6 in situ and 21 invasive breast cancers; 5 patients with early-stage cancer had negative margins and avoided reexcision.
    • Significant cost savings of $71,527.50 compared to open excisional biopsies.

    Conclusions:

    • ABBI is a safe, accurate, and cost-effective breast biopsy method.
    • The ABBI system demonstrates potential for excising small in situ or invasive breast cancers.
    • ABBI may reduce the need for further surgical intervention in select cases.
