Breast Cancer Treatment: Biopsy
Dr. Marcio Fagundes, Medical Director of Radiation Oncology at Miami Cancer Institute, explains the radiologist would do a biopsy of the lesion guided by a procedure, such as a mammogram or an ultrasound, for sampling the lesion that is suspicious for cancer.
He also says if the patient seems to have involvement of lymph nodes, they will do a biopsy of the lymph nodes to confirm it is positive. Depending on the size and stage the physician will decide which method of treatment comes first: surgery chemotherapy and radiation.
