When compared with women who had never had a breast biopsy, women with BBD without hyperplasia had an odds ratio of 1.5 (95% confidence limits [CL] 1.3 to 1.9), women with hyperplasia without atypia had an odds ratio of 1.8 (CL = 1.3, 2.4), and women with hyperplasia and a...
At present, the molecular subtypes of breast cancer are determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of biopsy specimen, which is a surrogate for genetic testing, as the genetic analysis is quite costly14,15. Unfortunately, the biopsy procedure limits the assessment to a small part of the ...

A panel of pathologists classified the histologic findings of biopsy slides for 433 women with breast cancer and 261 control subjects, all of whom had a history of biopsy for BBD, as to the presence of epithelial hyperplasia, atypia, and other histologic features. When compared with women who ...
Role of fine-needle aspiration biopsy in breast lesions: Analysis of a series of 4,110 cases From January of 1990 to December of 1992, 6,954 consecutive cytologic breast fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) were performed at the Laboratory of Pat... R Arisio,C Cuccorese,G Accinelli,....
Incisional biopsy. An incisional biopsy refers to removal of only a portion of the area of interest (for example, sampling of a small fragment of tissue from a larger breast lump). Fine needle biopsy. A fine needle biopsy is used to remove cells or fluid by suctioning through a long,...
Incorporating knowledge from cellular pathophysiology, which often forms the basis of disease8, into a liquid biopsy would more closely match the resolution afforded by invasive procedures. We first characterized the landscape of cell-type-specific signal from healthy donor plasma using published exome-...
A biopsy might be recommended whenever there is an important medical question the biopsy could help answer. Here are just a few examples: Amammogramshows a lump or mass, indicating the possibility ofbreast cancer. A mole on theskinhas changed shape recently and melanoma is possible. ...
Lung cancers are often discovered during examinations for other conditions. Cancer cells may be detected in sputum; a needlebiopsymay be used to remove a sample of lungtissuefor analysis; or the large airways of the lungs (bronchi) can viewed directly with a bronchoscope for signs of cancer. ...
