title: [Evaluation of the usefulness of stereotactic aspiration fine needle biopsy for breast neoplasm diagnosis in the preclinical stages].
abstract: Out of 6000 mammographies performed in the years 1991-1992, 61 patients have been qualified to stereotactic fine needle biopsies. Finally 50 stereotactic biopsies have been performed on 37 patients. In 6 cases (12%) cancer has been recognized. Stereotactic biopsy allows to recognize cancer in preclinical stages. In comparison with the surgical this method is less stressing for the patients and cheaper.
