What are the hazards of breast cancer puncture

What are the hazards of breast cancer puncture? The advantages of puncture are less pain, economical, and can easily find lesions. The disadvantage is that the positive rate is easily affected by many interferences (that is, it is easy to miss the diagnosis). The risk of breast puncture is very small, but it cannot completely rule out the possibility of inducing tumor spread. Let's take a look at the following introduction.

Needle biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing breast cancer

Because the initial treatment of the tumor is very important, it is also very important to clarify the nature and characteristics of the tumor before surgery.

The reason why everyone has such concerns as "the puncture examination for confirming breast cancer may cause cancer" is because everyone does not know much about this examination. Puncture biopsy is the first recommendation of international diagnosis and treatment guidelines. For larger tumors that can be clearly palpated, direct puncture can be performed. For tumors that are not clearly palpated, puncture can be performed under the guidance of ultrasound, molybdenum target or even MRI. It has high accuracy and minimal trauma, and almost no anesthesia or only a small amount of local anesthesia is required. Puncture a few tumor tissues or even a few tumor cells for pathological or cytological testing. The puncture site is just a small hole the size of a pinhole, which can be said to be close to non-invasive.

It is recommended to do breast color ultrasound and breast mammography. If it is confirmed to be a tumor, a lumpectomy can be performed and a pathological examination can be performed during the operation. If the pathological examination supports a malignant tumor, it can be changed to radical mastectomy plus local lymph node dissection.
