- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) - using a small needle is inserted through the skin of the breast andthe tip of the needle, tissue samples taken then to be examined. FNA is usually used for taking tissue samples or solid lumps filled with fluid (cyst). If true cyst, it will be deflated after all the liquid is taken. If no fluid, another type of biopsy will be performed.
- Core needle biopsy - uses a larger needle with a special tip shape. The needle is inserted, through the skin up into lumps, and tissue samples taken about the size of a pencil tip. Biopsy of this type can also be done using a vacuum unit that will slowly take the example of a larger network.
- Stereotactic biopsy - using a special type of X-rays with the same needle type with acore needle biopsy. This technique can find a lump that can not be felt by palpation, but looks at the examination by mammogram or breast ultrasound. Small incision made in the skin of the breast to facilitate the needleinto the breast with X-ray guidance Stereotactic biopsy is only applied to specific cases and onlyspecialist that allows doing this biopsy.
- Open biopsy -slicing open the skin biopsy and take part or the entire lump. If the doctor can not feel a lump, a needle or a special cable will be inserted into the suspected area during a screening mammogrambefore surgery. Figure needles or wires will help physicians determine the area where the bump occurred and determine the surgical incision should be made to take these lumps.
