Ten years follow-up of histologically benign calcifications in the breast after vacuum-assisted stereotactic biopsy (VASB): Is additional mammographic follow-up warranted?

Abstract: Objective: This study assessed the short-term and the long-term breast cancer rate in patients with benign histopathologic results after a vacuum-assisted stereotactic biopsy (VASB) for calcifications. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, all consecutive patients who had a benign diagnosis after VASB to analyze breast calcifications. Data of breast cancer development at short-term (four years) and longterm follow-up was gathered. Breast cancer rates in our cohort were compared to the breast cancer inciden… Show more

“…A vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is included in national and world standards to diagnose and treat precancerous, benign, and malignant lesions [3][4][5]. Its main application is related to the histological verification of non-palpable lesions and microcalcifications, for which it has become the gold standard for diagnosis and the treatment of benign formations in the mammary glands [7][8][9]. The main application is related to the histological verification of non-palpable lesions and microcalcifications suspicious for malignancy and the treatment of benign formations in the mammary glands.…”
