Core-cut biopsy

Core-cut biopsy is among the most commonly used methods for tissue sampling in suspicious lesions, especially in the breast area. It is a minimally invasive procedure that allows obtaining a sufficiently large tissue sample for histological examination. This method is fast, accurate and reliable, which makes it play a key role in early diagnosis and determining appropriate treatment.

Advantages of core-cut biopsy

• Accurate diagnosis – allows sampling of larger tissue specimens than fine needle biopsy, thus increasing accuracy of results
• Minimal invasiveness – the procedure is less burdensome than surgical biopsy and does not require general anesthesia
• Quick recovery – the patient can return to normal activities almost immediately after the procedure
• Low risk of complications – compared to open biopsy, the risk of infection, bleeding or hematoma formation is minimal
• Possibility of repetition – if necessary, the procedure can be repeated without significant burden on the patient
• Histological analysis – the obtained sample allows detailed examination of cellular structure and precise diagnosis determination
• Imaging guidance – the biopsy is performed under ultrasound, mammographic or MRI guidance, which increases the precision and safety of the procedure

Why is core-cut biopsy important?

Core-cut biopsy is today considered the gold standard for diagnosing suspicious breast lesions. Thanks to its accuracy, it helps doctors decide on further management – whether it involves monitoring, surgical removal, or comprehensive oncological treatment.
