Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Traditional histological processing of core biopsies is time-consuming.
  • Rapid microwave processing offers potential for expedited results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the accuracy and reporting time of microwave-processed breast biopsies versus traditional methods.
  • To evaluate the impact on patient management and surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • Core biopsies were processed using either microwave (MG) or traditional (TG) methods.
  • Concordance with postoperative histology for tumor type, grade, and lymphovascular invasion was assessed.
  • Reporting times, biopsy-to-surgery waiting times, and outpatient appointments were recorded.

Main Results:

  • Microwave processing showed higher concordance for tumor type (92% vs. 80%) and lymphovascular invasion (88% vs. 67%), though not statistically significant.
  • Traditional processing showed higher concordance for tumor grade (93% vs. 64%).
  • 25 patients in the microwave group received same-day diagnosis; no significant differences in waiting times or appointments were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Microwave processing enables safe and accurate immediate histological reporting of breast biopsies.
  • This facilitates prompt surgical management planning during the initial outpatient consultation.
