The substantial majority of questionable lesions detected by mammography are benign, and there is growing interest among health care professionals and patients in alternatives to surgical biopsy for diagnosing these lesions. Stereotactic breast biopsy is an x-ray guided method for localizing and sampling breast lesions discovered on mammography and considered to be suspicious for malignancy. Its use in sampling small, nonpalpable breast lesions has been investigated over the past 15 years, using fine-needle aspiration for cytology and, more recently, core-needle biopsy for histology. Multiple series comparing stereotactic biopsy with surgical biopsy have shown that stereotactic techniques accurately sample small lesions and have a sensitivity of 90 to 95 percent for breast cancer detection. State-of-the-art stereotactic breast biopsy is comparable in sensitivity to surgical biopsy, and the procedure is quicker, cheaper, and eas...
