Open excisional biopsy.This is surgery to remove an entire lump. The tissue is then studied under a microscope. If your doctor takes a section of normal breast tissue all the way around a lump (called alumpectomy), the biopsy is also considered abreast cancer treatment. In this technique,...
In August 2018, the authors replaced routine discharge opioid prescription with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for patients who had a lumpectomy or excisional biopsy (lump/ex). This study compared patient-reported post-discharge pain scores for patients treated before and after the ...
Rao et al (2010) stated that seed localization uses a radioactive source to identify non-palpable breast lesions for excision; it is an emerging alternative to wire-localized breast biopsy (WLBB). Previous single health system studies reported decreased rates of re-excision and improved patient c...
13-15 Briefly, 240 breast biopsy specimens (excisional or core needle) were randomly identified from a cohort of 19 498 cases obtained from pathology registries in New Hampshire and Vermont that are affiliated with the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium.16 Random, stratified sampling was used ...

For each patient, a core biopsy at baseline and a core or excision biopsy after 14 days of treatment had been collected at surgery. In parallel to global gene expression analysis, Ki67 indices were determined by IHC on adjacent sections. Responders were defined as showing more than 60% ...
Management of breast cancer is continually evolving. In contrast to the excisional biopsies of previous decades, an initial diagnosis of breast cancer is now routinely rendered on needle biopsy specimens. These small biopsies are particularly susceptible to influence of tumor heterogeneity, limited tumor...
Stereotaxic guided excisional biopsy (ABBI ®; ) — A new method for precise and minimal invasive breast surgery?Stereotaxic guided excisional biopsy (ABBI) — A new method for precise and minimal invasive breast surgery? - European Journal of Cancer...
≥4 is an assessment that indicates a radiologist thinks an exam is suspicious for malignancy. This was selected as the threshold for positive predictions since this is the score above which a patient will typically undergo an invasive procedure (biopsy or surgical excision) to definitively ...
Papillary Lesions on Core Breast Biopsy: Excisional Biopsy for All Patients?Excisional biopsy has been recommended for papillary lesions diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) because a significant proportion of cases are upstaged to in situ/invasive cancer after surgical excision. The study goals ...
