A breast biopsy is a diagnostic procedure in which a small sample of breast tissue or fluid is removed and examined under a microscope by a pathologist to determine whether a lump, calcification, or other breast abnormality is benign, atypical, or cancerous. It is the only way to confirm with certainty what a suspicious finding on a mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI actually represents. Most breast biopsies today are minimally invasive needle procedures performed under local anaesthesia, taking 30 to 60 minutes, though a small proportion are done as short surgical procedures in an operating room. The majority of biopsies turn out to show non-cancerous findings, and the result — whatever it shows — becomes the foundation for any further care decisions.
A very thin needle — similar to a blood-test needle — withdraws cells or fluid from the lump under local anaesthesia, with no incision or scar.
