About breast puncture / breast biopsy

A breast puncture, also known as a breast biopsy, is a medical procedure in which a tissue sample is taken from the breast to confirm suspicious changes detected on mammography, ultrasound, or MRI. At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, this examination is performed using the latest technology, with maximum precision and patient comfort in mind.

A breast puncture is a minimally invasive procedure that helps doctors determine whether a breast lesion is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). It is an essential step in breast cancer diagnostics and helps clarify the nature of abnormalities found on imaging tests (ultrasound, mammography, or MRI).

How is the breast puncture performed?

At Topmed Medical Center, breast punctures are performed by experienced specialists using precise and safe techniques to minimize discomfort.

Core needle biopsy

Uses a thicker needle to collect larger tissue fragments. The procedure is guided by ultrasound imaging to ensure maximum accuracy.

Imaging guidance

Ultrasound is used to precisely locate the target area.

Local anesthesia

The area being examined is numbed to minimize pain.

Sample collection

Tissue samples are taken and sent to the laboratory for histopathological analysis.

How to prepare for the breast puncture?

Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, especially blood thinners or aspirin.

Personal hygiene

Avoid using deodorant or other cosmetic products on the chest area on the day of the procedure.

Clothing and allergies
