Breast Biopsy
Breast biopsy is considered the best way to evaluate a suspicious area in your breast to determine if it is breast cancer. There are several types of breast biopsy procedures and your physician and our radiologist will discuss which procedure is best for you.
A breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove a small sample of breast tissue for laboratory testing.
