Percutaneous large core breast biopsy is safe and effective for diagnosing breast lesions. Surgical confirmation validates biopsy results, guiding further treatment decisions for breast cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Percutaneous large core biopsy is a common diagnostic tool for breast lesions.
  • Sonographic and mammographic guidance enhance biopsy accuracy.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective breast cancer management.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the safety and diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous large core breast biopsy.
  • To assess the concordance between biopsy results and surgical findings.
  • To determine the necessity of open biopsy for uncertain or non-representative core biopsy samples.

Summary:

  • Percutaneous large core breast biopsy (14-gauge needle) demonstrates high safety for benign and malignant lesions.
  • 44% of malignant diagnoses (B5) were surgically confirmed, with 79% congruence in typing and 58% in grading.

  • Uncertain (B3/B4) and non-representative (B1) results necessitated further investigation, with 10/16 operated cases showing carcinoma and no cancers found in B1 cases post-surgery.

    • Impact:

    • Core biopsy results, alongside clinical findings, inform surgical indications.
    • Accurate histological assessment minimizes unnecessary procedures.
    • This study validates core biopsy as a reliable method in breast cancer diagnosis and management.
