“…In their study, vasovagal reactions were seen significantly more often in the sitting position [9]; however, if large-core breast biopsy is performed occasionally, systems with the patient in the sitting position seem to be more cost-effective; thus, stereotactic guidance, either performed with the patient in the prone or upright position, can be used for all types of mammographic lesions [4,6,9,12].…”

“…Although needle guidance systems are available in US, most clinicians consider free-hand positioning of the biopsy needle, with or without a coaxial technique within the breast, to be the best technique. The advantages of the free-hand technique include the ability to approach the lesion with the needle parallel to the chest wall [3,5,12,22,23,24,25,26,27,31,43]; however, independent of the chosen technique, correct needle placement should be documented an two orthogonal imaging planes.…”

“…Some of these lesions require further characterization, and percutaneous image-guided needle biopsy has been used more frequently to diagnose such breast lesions. Percutaneous biopsy is faster, less invasive, less expensive than surgical biopsy, and can obviate the need for surgery in women with benign lesions; thus, percutaneous image-guided needle breast biopsy has become an alternative to surgical biopsy [1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,48,49,50,51,...…”

Stereotactic and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy

Percutaneous imaging-guided needle biopsy has increasingly become an alternative to surgical biopsy for the histologic assessment of breast lesions. Percutaneous biopsy is faster, less invasive, and less expensive than surgical biopsy. Tissue acquisition is performed with automated core needles or directional vacuum-assisted biopsy probes. Guidance for percutaneous biopsy is usually provided by stereotaxis, ultrasound, and, more recently, under the guidance of MR imaging. Imaging guidance depends on lesion type and the results of diagnostic imaging studies. This article reviews indications, advantages, limitations, and controversial issues in percutaneous imaging-guided biopsy of breast lesions under stereotactic and ultrasound guidance. The potential for new research opportunities and directions is also discussed.

“…Strahlentherapie -oder beide kombiniert -benötigen nur eine geringe Menge an Tumorgewebe zur histopathologischen Diagnose [5,6,10,12,13,19,26]. Damit wird die postoperative pathologische Erfassung der Tumorgröße als auch des Lymphknotenstatus, somit die pTNM-Klassifikation, deutlich in den Hintergrund gestellt.…”

Staging des Mammakarzinoms

In women with breast cancer, staging of the tumor plays an important role and often is considered to be the most prognostic and therapeutic factor. The most widely used staging system is based on the pathologic TNM classification. In recent years conservative therapies such as preoperative chemo- or radiotherapy are used more often with limited tissue evaluation resulting in insufficient or even inaccurate staging data. Tumor size as well as nodal involvement is decisive in selecting a treatment method and assessing the response. Thus, more accurate preoperative in vivo staging is necessary. This article therefore gives an overview of the different imaging modalities (mammography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine) used for breast cancer staging. Furthermore, results of these methods are compared critically with the pathohistologic staging.
