A member asked:
Hello doctors, what does a breast biopsy procedure consist of?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A breast biopsy could be as simple as inserting a needle into the breast and therefore into the lump to remove a sample of tissue. Or it could involve a surgical procedure to make an incision on the breast and remove the breast lump in the operating room.
