If your doctor has recommended a breast biopsy, you probably have many questions and concerns. It’s only natural. But fortunately, the outlook for anyone facing a biopsy is more positive than ever before. Most doctors now believe that early detection of possible breast cancer is the first and most important step on a path toward successful treatment and recovery.

It may also help you to know that the statistics are strongly in your favor. Eighty percent of breast biopsies turn out to be non-cancerous. And for those patients whose breast cancer is detected early, the five-year survival rate is 96 percent.* But perhaps most importantly, over two million breast cancer survivors are alive in America today.* Yes, we have come a long way.

This site is dedicated to answering at least some of your questions and helping you understand more about the highly advanced, minimally invasive biopsy and treatment techniques that are now available.
