At HealthBay Breast Care Center, we offer Stereotactic Vacuum-Assisted Core Needle Biopsy (VAB) as an advanced and minimally invasive diagnostic procedure for detecting breast abnormalities. We are committed to providing precise diagnosis, early detection, and expert care using the latest medical technologies.

This advanced biopsy technique plays a crucial role in confirming or ruling out breast cancer with high accuracy while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

What Is a Stereotactic Vacuum-Assisted Core Needle Biopsy?

A Stereotactic Vacuum-Assisted Core Needle Biopsy is a specialized breast biopsy technique used to obtain tissue samples from suspicious areas in the breast that are not easily felt but visible on mammograms.

Using 3D mammography (stereotactic imaging) and a vacuum-powered device, the procedure allows doctors to collect multiple tissue samples through a single small incision. This ensures high diagnostic accuracy while avoiding the need for surgical biopsy.

Why Is This Biopsy Recommended?

This procedure is commonly recommended when:

• Mammograms show microcalcifications
• There are suspicious breast lesions
• Abnormalities are not visible on ultrasound
• Early signs of breast cancer need confirmation
• Follow-up is required after an abnormal screening

At HealthBay, our specialists carefully assess each case to ensure the most appropriate diagnostic approach for every patient.

Procedure Overview: What to Expect
