Introduction


Screening  Many benign lesions indistinguishable
from cancer



 Previously open surgical biopsies (OSB) for
asymptomatic benign lesions were often necessary



 Quick development of percutaneaous biopsies for
BIRADS 4 and also 5
 with often a lack of scientific validations  some controversies


Slide 4

Potential advantages


Less invasive, less expansive techniques that avoid:





surgery for benign lesions
surgery in 2 times

Percutaneaous biopsy may avoid per-operative
histological analysis that may destruct small lesions


Slide 5

Potential drawbacks


Epithelial displacement (FNA, CNB > VACB):






No evidence of biologic significance
No  of the recurrence rate after BCS
But some displaced cells associated with DCIS can sometime mimic
IDC for pathologist.

Risk of missed cancers  good knowledge of
limitations

Follow-up ? Not palpable  0-2 % of malignancy (mean: 1.4% - Lower for young women (< 30 yo))
Triple test with FNA ? Negative predictive value:  100% (1) but … false positive !
CNB the best test to exclude a breast cancer ! Especially for large lesion and old women (> 60 % of
carcinoma after 60 yo)

Slide 36

Calcifications : undervaluation


Vacuum-assisted devices, larger gauge biopsy needles,
and greater number of cores were associated with a
higher NPV.



But there is always some underevaluated lesions: ADH,
ALH, LN, DCIS (16-31 %)  OSB is required

Calcifications : undervaluation

Large cluster of amorphous calcifications: adenosis +/- DCIS ?

Tabar. Practical breast pathology - Thieme 2002


Slide 38

Microcalcifications


To avoid missed cancer, a open surgical biopsy is required
after percutaneous biopsy:





When none or a small number of calcifications are
removed
For large cluster of amorphous calcifications (adenosis
+/- DCIS ?)
For an histological diagnosis of ADH, ALH, and LN


Slide 39


Slide 40

Conclusions


IR is very useful and efficient BUT not for all and always !



The knowledge of the limitations of each techniques   nb
of missed cancers



Confrontation of the cytological and histological results with
the PE and medical imaging studies in a multidisciplinary
approach !



Repeat biopsy is necessary if histological and imaging finding are
discordant
Surgical excision is necessary for some histological benign lesions:
ADH, ALH, LN, radial scar, papillary lesions, possible phyllode tumor


Slide 41

Conclusions


Further work is necessary to optimize criteria for patient
selection, to develop and define the role of new
technologies.



Complete removal of the mammographic target does not
ensure complete excision of the histological process 
Further investigation is necessary to determinate in which
lesion, complete removal of the target is advantageous.
