Complete extirpation of benign breast lesions with an ultrasound‐guided vacuum biopsy system

Abstract

K E Y W O R D S:

Comparison of two minimally invasive biopsy techniques – Breast Lesion Excision System and vacuum-assisted biopsy – for diagnosing and treating breast lesions

“…However, there has not been a study comparing these methods in terms of pain associated with the procedure, discomfort of the procedure, side effects and aesthetic results. Krainick-Strobel et al found that, in the case of the VAB biopsy, the average pain score associated with the procedure on a 10-point scale was 1.35 [9]. It coincides with the results of this study, which also showed no significant difference between the VAB biopsy and the BLES biopsy in terms of pain, discomfort or duration of the procedures.…”

The Opportunity for Microbiopsies for Skin Cancer

“…The microbiopsy approach is currently used in other oncology specialities, such as breast cancer [17], but not for skin cancer, where conventional biopsies range from 2 to 4 mm. This size range is key for enabling histopathological diagnosis.…”

Komplettresektion benigner Mammabefunde mittels ultraschallgeführter großlumiger Vakuumbiopsie: medianes Follow-up von 13 Monaten

“…direkt unter dem Befund zu platzieren, was die höhere Anzahl an entnommenen Biopsiezylindern, vor allem bei angestrebter KR, erklärt. Ko et al [8] [3] konnten zeigen, dass in vitro eine Größenzunahme des zu entfernenden Befundes mit einer verlängerten Untersuchungsdauer einhergeht, da mehr Gewebezylinder entnommen werden müssen, um die KR zu erreichen [10]. Bei Befunden > 20 mm gleicht die Zeit, die für die sonografisch geführte VB benötigt wird, in etwa der Eingriffsdauer einer ambulanten offenen Probenexzision.…”
