If
an abnormality is found on a mammogram, and additional
mammographic views or ultrasound do not provide a specific
diagnosis, a biopsy of the breast may be recommended.
Most abnormalities in the breast prove to be benign
(not cancer). Such abnormalities fall into one of three
categories:
|
|
A
group or cluster of calcium deposits or calcifications |
|
|
A
nodule with or without calcifications |
|
|
A region which is more dense than the rest of your
breast tissue or which is changing compared to previous
mammograms |
All
of these can be diagnosed with a stereotactic biopsy.
