What are the advantages and disadvantages of Vacuum – Assisted Biopsy?

0

A relatively new biopsy procedure which is able to remove approximately twice the amount of breast tissue compared with core needle biopsy with minimum invasive breast biopsy procedure. Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is becoming more common but requires a highly skilled radiologist or surgeon who is experienced in performing the procedure. Some patients are not good candidates for vacuum-assisted biopsy or may have lesions (breast abnormalities) that are difficult to locate with minimally-invasive equipment.
