Needle biopsy ?!
Question: Needle biopsy !?
I UNDERSTAND THAT FOR A NEEDLE BIOPSY THEY REMOVE A SAMPLE , IF I COMES BACK BENIGN IS IT SAFE TO LEAVE THE REST OF THE LUMP IN YOUR BREAST!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
yes!.
that is the reason for doing a needle procedure - if benign, is saves you the trouble of having a larger incision for total removal of the mass!.
there is also the possibility that the needle biopsy could be non-diagnostic - that it did not retrieve sufficient tissue for diagnosis!. If that happens, you could try another needle procedure, or move up to a surgical biopsy!. But cross that bridge when you come to it!.
