Summary

This study on breast cancer biopsy methods found that excisional biopsies and needle biopsies are effective for diagnosis. Recent trends show an increase in needle biopsies and two-stage procedures for better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • The bioptic strategy for breast cancer diagnosis relies on specific procedural conditions.
  • Accurate tissue sampling is crucial for reliable histological examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application and outcomes of different breast cancer biopsy methods.
  • To analyze trends in biopsy techniques and surgical procedures over time.

Main Methods:

  • Review of 365 women with operable, primary invasive breast cancer treated between 1982 and 1987.
  • Analysis of definitive surgical procedures, predominantly excisional or needle biopsies.
  • Observation of procedural shifts towards needle biopsy and two-stage approaches.

Main Results:

  • Excisional biopsy (62%) and needle biopsy (24%) were the primary methods for definitive surgery.
  • A shift towards increased needle biopsy and two-stage procedures was observed in the final year.
  • Core-aspirating needle biopsy, performed synchronously with mammography by radiologists, saw increased utilization.

Conclusions:

  • The established bioptic strategy ensures representative tissue sampling for accurate breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Patient compliance and histological outcomes have been satisfactory with the employed methods.
  • Evolving techniques like synchronous mammography and core-aspirating needle biopsy indicate procedural advancements.
