Breast Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
15. Are there other procedures being
developed that might be better at diagnosing breast
cancer?
Researchers are studying another type of surgical biopsy which
removes less breast tissue. It is called an image-guided needle
breast biopsy, or stereotactic biopsy. If approved for general use,
it would become an important surgical tool. Eighty percent of U.S.
women who have a surgical breast biopsy do not have cancer.
