Among our doctors for your Breast biopsy

What is a breast biopsy?

A breast biopsy is a key diagnostic procedure that involves removing a small sample of tissue from the breast for microscopic examination. Unlike imaging tests, which can detect abnormalities, a biopsy provides a definitive diagnosis, giving you and your doctor clear answers.

When it is recommended?

A biopsy may be advised in several situations:

Why is it important?

Histological analysis of the tissue sample helps determine whether the lesion is:

By providing clear and reliable results, a breast biopsy is a critical step in guiding medical care and helping patients feel more confident and informed about their health.

Have you noticed a change in your breast and are unsure whether it's benign or malignant? With Turquie Santé, our breast specialists offer a second medical opinion and guide you toward the most accurate diagnosis and the treatment plan that best suits your situation.

Breast biopsy techniques in Turkey

In Turkey, patients have access to several breast biopsy techniques. The choice of method depends on the nature, size, and location of the lesion. These modern techniques are designed to provide accurate diagnostic results while ensuring comfort and minimal discomfort for the patient.

Percutaneous biopsy

A percutaneous biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthetic that enables precise tissue sampling while minimizing pain and scarring. There are two main types:

Type

Description

Indications

Key points

Core needle biopsy (Microbiopsy).

Performed with a fine needle to collect small tissue samples.

Small lesions or fluid aspiration.

Minimally invasive, targeted, low discomfort, same-day recovery.

Large core needle biopsy (Macrobiopsy).

Performed with a larger needle to obtain more tissue.

Lesions requiring a more representative sample.

More reliable results, quick, accurate, minimal scarring.

The doctor uses imaging technology (mammography, ultrasound) to guide the needle to the lesion. The sample taken is then sent to a pathology laboratory for examination under a microscope.

Both methods are quick, accurate, and cause very little pain or scarring. They generally allow the patient to resume their normal activities on the same day.

Surgical Biopsy

Surgical biopsy is a more invasive method, performed in an operating room, and provides a definitive diagnosis when a percutaneous biopsy is not sufficient:

Type

Description

Indications

Key points

Excisional biopsy.

Complete removal of the lesion.

Strong suspicion of cancer or bothersome benign abnormalities.

Provides a full analysis and can serve as an immediate treatment.

Incisional biopsy.

Partial removal of the lesion.

When a diagnosis is needed while preserving part of the breast tissue.

Accurate diagnosis while conserving healthy tissue.

Although more invasive, surgical biopsy remains a safe and effective test, providing a definitive diagnosis when other methods are insufficient.

Would you like to know whether your situation requires a percutaneous or a surgical biopsy? With Turquie Santé, our breast imaging and surgery specialists guide you toward the most appropriate method for your case, ensuring a reliable and timely diagnosis.

How is a breast biopsy performed in Turkey?

The process of a breast biopsy in Turkey is designed to be fast, safe, and comfortable while ensuring reliable results:

  1. Initial consultation: medical evaluation and selection of the most suitable technique.
  2. Quick procedure: usually performed under local anesthesia, lasting between 20 and 40 minutes.
  3. Laboratory analysis: the tissue sample is examined by experienced pathologists.
  4. Results: typically available within a few days, allowing for rapid medical management.

With Turquie Santé, you are supported every step of the way: from scheduling your appointment to post-exam follow-up, ensuring your experience is smooth, safe, and transparent.

Potential risks and how to manage them

A breast biopsy is a safe and well-tolerated procedure. Like any medical intervention, it may involve some possible side effects, but most are mild, temporary, and easily manageable:

Risk/side effect

Description

How to manage the risks

Bruising / small hematomas.

Appearance of bruises or small collections of blood under the skin around the puncture site.

Apply a cold compress within the first few hours after the procedure. Avoid strenuous activities and follow monitoring instructions.

Local tenderness / mild pain.

Temporary discomfort or tenderness at the biopsy site, which may last a few days.

Use simple pain relievers recommended by your doctor and avoid touching or massaging the area.

Rare risk of infection.

Possible infection at the biopsy site.

Treatable with antibiotics. Keep the area clean and dry. Watch for redness, warmth, or discharge.

Significant hematoma or bleeding (very rare).

More pronounced bleeding that requires medical supervision.

Apply pressure to the site if needed, and contact your doctor right away for evaluation.

In most cases, recovery after a breast biopsy is quick, does not require extended hospitalization, and patients can resume daily activities with medical guidance.
