What type of bisopsy should I have?
12/17/08
Hi I was just told by the doctor who does my annual mamagrams that he believes I have a very tiny cancer in my left breast. He also did a sonagram and wants me to see a surgeon right away about a biopsy. He said by looking at it he believes it is cancer. What would be the best way to biopsy this?

Hi Gina - You need to see a radiologist, rather than a surgeon. The radiologist will recommend what kind of biopsy to have. I suspect, since your cancer appears tiny, that you'll have a needle biopsy - where a needle is inserted into the area of question in your breast, and cells withdrawn that way. Anywway, I'd expect your doctor would set you up with the correct person to perform this procedure. Best of luck to you - PJH
