Stereotaxic needle core biopsy of breast lesions using a regular mammographic table with an adaptable stereotaxic device.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE.Fine-needle aspiration and stereotaxic needle core biopsy (SNCB) are techniques used in the workup of breast lesions suggestive of cancer. Many surgeons are reluctant to rely on fine needle results, and until now, SNCB could be done only with a dedicated biopsy

Stereotactic Biopsy of the Breast Using an Upright Unit, a Vacuum-Suction Needle, and a Lateral Arm-Support System

“…Similarly, Blue and Harman [5] reported a 20% rate of vasovagal reactions (5/25), but Hirst and Davis [4] noted only 5%, of which 2% resulted in cancellation of the procedure ( n = 683, including both stereotactic and sonography-guided core biopsies). Caines et al [1] reported the lowest frequency of vasovagal reactions, at 0.3% (4/125).…”

“…Thinly compressed breasts and lesions located near the chest wall are well sampled. The vasovagal rate is higher than that on a prone table but is acceptable.tudies have validated the accuracy of stereotactic biopsy by several methods: concordance of core biopsy and surgical results for malignancy and atypical ductal hyperplasia, surgical results versus core biopsy in cases of mammographic discordance [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], and the false-negative rates of benign core biopsies with surgical results or surveillance [21]. However, these studies have primarily used prone stereotactic tables.…”

Percutaneous Imaging-Guided Core Breast Biopsy

“…ercutaneous imaging-guided breast biopsy is increasingly an alternative to surgical biopsy for the histologic assessment of nonpalpable breast lesions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Percutaneous imagingguided biopsy is most often performed under stereotactic [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] or sonographic guidance [14][15][16][17] (Fig.…”

“…Percutaneous imagingguided biopsy is most often performed under stereotactic [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] or sonographic guidance [14][15][16][17] (Fig. 1); some investigators report preliminary experience with percutaneous biopsy guided by MR imaging [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Guideline zur Abklärung des palpablen Mammabefundes

“…Kleine Befunde, die nur mit Mühe palpiert werden, können stereotaktisch oder sonographisch gezielt biopsiert werden (Â 3 ) [39][40][41].…”
