Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Context:

  • Magnetic resonance (MR) mammography is increasingly used to detect suspicious breast lesions.
  • Accurate histological evaluation is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Minimally invasive biopsy techniques are preferred for patient comfort and reduced morbidity.

Purpose:

  • To assess the feasibility and safety of MR-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) using the Vacora system.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic yield of MR-guided VABB for suspicious lesions identified on MR-mammography.
  • To determine the complication rate associated with this procedure.

Summary:

  • MR-guided VABB with the Vacora system was attempted in 12 patients with MR-mammography detected suspicious lesions.

  • The procedure was successfully completed in 9 out of 12 patients.
  • Histopathology revealed benign findings in 8 patients and malignancy in one; one benign case had non-representative tissue.

    • Impact:

    • MR-guided VABB with the Vacora system is a technically feasible option for tissue sampling of MR-detected breast lesions.
    • The procedure offers a low complication rate, enhancing patient safety.
    • This technique can provide accurate histological diagnoses, guiding subsequent patient management.
