The core needle biopsy consists in collecting a small section of tissue from mammary gland under local anaesthesia. The tissue material then undergoes histopatological test to assess possible pathological changes.
The core needle biopsy is often performed, when a precise assessment of the type and degree of change is necessary. It is a minimally-invasive procedure and lasts app. 20 minutes.
