Breast Biopsy

Indications for Breast

Breast biopsy involves removing a sample of breast tissue to determine whether it is cancerous or benign (non-cancerous).

Breast abnormality can be detected by Physical examination, Mammography, Ultrasound and other breast imaging methods.


Biopsy followed by Pathological (Microscopic) examination of breast tissue is the only definitive way to determine the Cancer Pathology.
