Complete percutaneous excision of infiltrating carcinoma at stereotactic breast biopsy: how can tumor size be assessed?

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of complete excision of infiltrating carcinoma at stereotactic 11-gauge directional vacuum-assisted breast biopsy and to evaluate the feasibility of measuring tumor size in stereotactic biopsy specimens in infiltrating carcinomas that were percutaneously excised.
