Mammographic changes following biopsy and lumpectomy-breast irradiation.
Mammographic architectural distortion occurred at the operative site in 86 percent of lumpectomy patients and in 34 percent of biopsy patients during the first year (P < 0.001). These changes can mimic carcinoma and may be slow to resolve.
