While a breast biopsy can mean a traditional surgical procedure, it doesn’t have to any more. The Mammotome Stereotactic Breast Biopsy system, available at the Vista surgery ad Treatment Center, locates and takes tissue samples from questionable masses in the breast. In a comfortable outpatient setting, a biopsy needle is inserted to take a tiny section of tissue from the lump for examination and diagnosis. This advanced procedure minimizes pain and cost, requires no stitches and leaves almost no scarring that could interfere with future mammograms.
