AI Article Synopsis
- Modern mammography has improved the detection of suspicious lesions, resulting in more diagnostic surgical biopsies, most of which turn out to be benign.
- Reducing unnecessary surgical biopsies can help lower medical costs and avoid invasive procedures.
- Stereotactic large-core needle biopsies provide a way to better identify which lesions need further surgical evaluation, supporting their use as an effective alternative in managing suspicious mammographic findings.
Article Abstract
The current widespread use of modern mammography has increased the detection of suspicious mammographic lesions, which has led to a greater number of diagnostic surgical biopsies. Most of these lesions referred for surgical biopsy have been benign. The reduction in the number of benign surgical biopsies can reduce medical costs and unnecessary invasive breast surgery. Stereotactic large-core needle biopsies in patients with suspicious mammographic lesions can preselect the breast lesions that need further evaluation with surgical excisional biopsy. Our results with stereotactic large-core needle biopsies support this alternative approach to the workup of suspicious mammographic lesions.
