[Role of microbiopsies in the therapeutic and diagnostic approach in cases of mammary microcalcification: preliminary results].
The increase of mammographies has lead to the discovery of more frequent mammary microcalcifications. Presently, about 30% of breast tumors are discovered from infraclinics lesions. Instead of the different classifications, the microcalcifications are the omnious sign with bad specificity. It is in the aim to improve the diagnostic etiology and the choice of therapy, that the directed microbiopsies on microcalcifications had been realized. After an orthogonal location and under local anesthesia, we performed at least six biopsies with a 2.1 mm (14 gauge) needle. This allowed recovery of malignant lesions during the control of microcalcifications and permitted considerable early operative treatment. In fact, a diagnostic and therapeutic advancement of 12 months as compared to a clinical diagnosis, permitting a 30% reduction of metastasis.
