Abstract

Advances in stereotactic breast biopsies have introduced a variety of devices that yield different sizes of tissue samples. The choice of biopsy device should be based on which technique is most likely to yield a definitive diagnosis at the time of the initial biopsy. This is a prospective study of 104 patients who underwent a total of 125 stereotactic breast biopsies using the SiteSelect large-core biopsy device. From May 1999 to June 2001, 104 patients underwent 125 stereotactic breast biopsies with the SiteSelect large-core biopsy device. One hundred four 15 mm SiteSelect biopsies, eighteen 10 mm SiteSelect biopsies, and three 22 mm SiteSelect biopsies were performed. Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) were found in 15% of the biopsies and infiltrating cancer was found in another 15% of the biopsies. Seventy-eight percent of the ADH and 90% of the DCIS lesions were associated with indeterminate calcifications noted on mammogram. Two of the 22 mm SiteSelect excisions yielded a specimen that contained the entire cancer with clear surgical margins. All of the patients with DCIS or invasive carcinoma underwent definitive surgical and adjuvant therapy. The sensitivity and specificity of SiteSele...Continue Reading
