Globally, over 2 million new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in women in 2020, and breast cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths. In the United States, breast cancer accounts for 30% of new yearly cancer diagnoses in women. However, the mortality from breast cancer has been declining due to improved detection and advanced treatments. Vigorous screening and sophisticated diagnostic techniques increase the detection of occult breast cancer. This activity delves into the current standards of image-guided biopsies, emphasizing ultrasound, mammography, and magnetic resonance techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of the procedure are highlighted.This course empowers clinicians to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve the management of breast cancer by elucidating the interplay between imaging equipment, tissue sampling devices, and biopsy guidance modalities. Participants will gain proficiency in applying various tissue sampling devices, including fine needle aspiration, vacuum-assisted biopsy, and spring-loaded core needle biopsy devices. Interprofessional collaboration among primary care clinicians and treating surgeons is emphasized for positive postoperative outcomes.
