How (VAB) reduces the need for surgical biopsies.

When a breast imaging scan identifies an area requiring further assessment, your doctor may discuss biopsy options. One advanced technique is Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy (VAB). VAB is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure. A needle attached to a vacuum device is used to collect multiple tissue samples through one small incision. This method allows for the removal of a larger sample of tissue than a traditional core needle biopsy, which can be necessary for a definitive diagnosis in certain situations.The decision to recommend a VAB is made by your doctor and radiologist based on your specific clinical needs 🩺 Speak to your doctor or visit our website for more info.
