Purpose:
The authors describe and evaluate the management system for patients requiring large core vacuum-assisted biopsies at a dedicated breast center. This process includes mandatory review of all requests by a multidisciplinary team.
Material:
and method. Patients were provided questionnaires to evaluate their degree of satisfaction with the management process. Results from biopsy and surgery were retrospectively reviewed.
Results:
From the 100 patients included in the study (106 macrobiopsies), 95,28% of biopsies were informative. The degree of correlation between the histological diagnosis from biopsy and surgery was 86,95% for the 46 operated cases. The degree of acceptability by patients as well as medical and non-medical staff was satisfactory.
Conclusion:
The original feature of this process is the retrospective review of all charts after the histological results becomes available for final validation of the biopsy results and management. The results of the biopsy and the post biopsy management are provided by the initial referring physician, allowing optimal patient care and follow-up.
