    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_biopsy

    Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is a more recent version of core needle biopsy using a vacuum technique to assist the collection of the tissue sample. Similarly to core needle biopsy, the needle has a lateral ("from the side") opening and can be rotated, allowing multiple samples to be collected through a single skin incision.

  3. Phyllodes tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllodes_tumor

    A core needle biopsy is the primary tool used to provide a definitive diagnosis for phyllodes tumors. [11] Other biopsy techniques include fine-needle aspiration and excisional biopsy. Following biopsy, histological and gross examination is performed which helps clinicians better grade and classify the phyllodes tumor. [11]

    An incisional biopsy or core biopsy samples a portion of the abnormal tissue without attempting to remove the entire lesion or tumor. When a sample of tissue or fluid is removed with a needle in such a way that cells are removed without preserving the histological architecture of the tissue cells, the procedure is called a needle aspiration ...

    Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB) is a minimally invasive procedure to help in the diagnosis of breast cancer. VAB is characterized by single insertion, acquisition of contiguous and larger tissue samples, and directional sample capability. It also offers 10x the tissue of core needle biopsy. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_test_score

    Over a review of 46 studies using sensitivity, specificity, and other measures of accuracy, fine-needle aspiration biopsy proved to be a very accurate yet minimally invasive diagnostic method for evaluating breast malignancy. With the exclusion of unsatisfactory samples, fine-needle aspiration biopsy sensitivity proportion was 0.927 and the ...

  9. Stereotactic biopsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotactic_biopsy

    Stereotactic biopsy, also known as stereotactic core biopsy, is a biopsy procedure that uses a computer and imaging performed in at least two planes to localize a target lesion (such as a tumor or microcalcifications in the breast) in three-dimensional space and guide the removal of tissue for examination by a pathologist under a microscope.
