Breast Biopsy

A breast biopsy is a medical procedure performed to collect tissue samples from the breast for further examination and testing. It is usually done when there is a suspicious breast lump or abnormality detected through imaging studies such as mammography or ultrasound.

Breast biopsies can be performed using different techniques, including:

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy: A thin needle is used to extract cells or fluid from the breast lump or abnormality.

Core needle biopsy: A larger needle is used to remove small samples of breast tissue.

Vacuum-assisted biopsy: A probe with a vacuum system is used to extract multiple tissue samples through a single small incision.</p

Treatment name: Cost range

Breast Biopsy: Rs.22200 to Rs.29600

Breast Cancer: Rs.133200 to Rs.177600

Breast Lumpectomy: Rs.133200 to Rs.177600

Breast Conservation Surgery - BCS: Rs.133

Breast biopsies are typically performed by a radiologist or a surgeon specializing in breast diseases. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider who has expertise in breast health and biopsy procedures.

Imaging Guidance: Mammography, ultrasound, or MRI may be used to precisely locate and guide the needle or probe during the biopsy procedure.

Stereotactic Biopsy: This technique uses mammography to guide the biopsy needle to the suspicious area in three-dimensional space.

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy: Real-time ultrasound imaging helps guide the needle to the precise location of the abnormality.

MRI-Guided Biopsy: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to guide the needle or probe during the biopsy procedure.
