Vacuum - Assisted Biopsy (VAB)
2026.10.2
Women should undergo a mammogram or breast ultrasound at least once every two years starting from the age of 40 to check for small lumps in the breasts that cannot be felt by touch. If an abnormal lump is detected in the breast, a breast tissue sample needs to be extracted for pathological testing to determine whether the lump is benign or malignant.
"Vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB)" is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. It uses X-ray or ultrasound guidance to insert a biopsy needle into the breast lump, and then uses vacuum suction to draw the tissue into the needle. Smaller benign tumors can even be completely removed using this technique. The advantages of this technique include speed, accuracy, small wounds, low pain, quick healing, and the ability to collect more tissue samples compared to traditional needle biopsies, thereby improving the accuracy of the tests.
