The Use of Stereotactic Excisional Biopsy in the Management of Invasive Breast Cancer
Abstract
Stereotactic breast biopsy techniques minimize the surgical trauma associated with conventional wire-guided open breast biopsy for non-palpable breast lesions (NPBLs). Advanced breast biopsy instrumentation (ABBI) allows for a 2-cm core of breast tissue to be excised under stereotactic guidance in an outpatient setting. We report our initial experience with ABBI.
