Biopsy: A biopsy is needed to confirm what is causing the suspicious microcalcifications. This doesn't automatically mean you have cancer, these biopsies often turn out benign. However, they may be malignant, so biopsy is necessary. Many times microcalcifications can be biopsied with a needle using stereotactic guidance.
