which kind of biopsy to do?
by bavmoorda, Oct 15, 2007 07:47PM
Hi. I am scheduled to have an open surgical biopsy (excisional) on my left breast in two days. I was told by my surgeon that because of the small size of my calcification clusters and the small size of my breast I am not eligible for the core needle biopsy. I hear the surgical biopsy is a much more severe procedure, with greater scarring and a chance of changing the shape of the breast, is this true? Anyone out there ever get the recommendation for a surgical biopsy and get a core needle one instead? What was the outcome?
