What is Breast Biopsy?

Facebook Twitter

A breast biopsy is a procedure to remove a sample of breast cells or tissue, or an entire lump.
A pathologist then looks at the sample under the microscope to check further signs of the disease.
A biopsy is the only way to find out if cells are cancerous or not.


Biopsy is usually done in an office or a clinic or an OPD basis. This means you will go home the same day as the procedure. Local anesthesia is used in some biopsies. This means you will be awake, but you won’t feel pain in your breast during the procedures.
For further guidance, consult Dr Rajinder Kaur Saggu, one of the top Breast surgeon in Delhi.
