A vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain tissue samples from suspicious areas within the breast for diagnostic purposes. During VABB, a needle connected to a vacuum device is inserted into the breast tissue, guided by imaging techniques such as mammography, ultrasound, or MRI. This allows for the collection of multiple tissue samples through a single small incision, reducing the need for multiple needle insertions. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and is highly effective in diagnosing breast abnormalities, including cancer. VABB offers a quicker recovery time and less scarring compared to surgical biopsies, providing a precise and less invasive option for patients undergoing breast cancer diagnosis and evaluation.
