Percutaneous procedures offer a minimally invasive method for diagnosing breast cancer, providing rapid histological confirmation. This approach reassures patients with benign findings and optimizes treatment for invasive cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women.
  • Screening programs detect early, subclinical lesions.
  • Percutaneous procedures offer histological diagnosis without surgery.

Purpose:

  • To review the role and techniques of percutaneous procedures in breast cancer diagnosis.
  • To highlight the benefits of percutaneous procedures for patient reassurance and treatment optimization.

Summary:

  • Percutaneous procedures provide rapid histological diagnosis for breast lesions.
  • Ultrasonographic guidance is used for opacities (micro-biopsy).
  • Mammographic stereotactic guidance is used for microcalcifications (macrobiopsy).

Impact:

  • Enables prompt reassurance for benign lesions.
  • Optimizes therapeutic strategies for invasive breast cancers.
  • Minimally invasive approach improves patient tolerance and outcomes.
