• Surgical Breast Biopsy - Your Surgery and Recovery at Home (Royal Columbian Hospital) [English] Public

  

  A surgical breast biopsy is done in the Operating Room. You are given either a general anesthetic (medicine that puts you in a very deep sleep) or a sedative. The surgeon injects numbing medicine to ‘freeze’ the breast. The surgeon then makes a small cut (incision) in the breast and locates the mass. The tissue is removed and sent to the hospital laboratory to examine for abnormalities. (English) Black & White

• Ultrasound Guided Breast Biopsy (Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, Fraser Health) [English] Public

  

  You need a biopsy if you have a lump or other change in your breast, or if you have a recent mammogram or ultrasound showing a change in your breast tissue. Many tissue changes are harmless, but we want to make sure the change is normal. The only way to be sure your breast is healthy is to remove a small piece of tissue, called a biopsy (sounds like bye-op-see). This pamphlet gives you information on where and when the biopsy is done, how to prepare, what to expect, how to care for yourself afterwards, and when to get help. (English) Colour
