Download or read book Advanced Breast Biopsy Instrumentation written by Medicare Services Advisory Committee, MSAC. and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced breast biopsy instrumentation (ABBI) is a device for biopsy of suspicious small lesions of the breast for diagnosis. The procedure involved utilises a stereotactic imaging system and is minimally invasive. From the literature available on ABBI, the sensitivity and specificity of the procedure from the studies retrieved was unclear, most of the studies being quasi-experimental in design, and providing limited detail on patient selection, blinding and randomisation. There is a need for women who are found, via mammography, to have suspicious small breast lesions investigated, to determine whether the lesion is invasive, in-situ, or benign. The limited safety data available suggests that the procedure is safe. Currently there is insufficient evidence to conclude that ABBI is superior to the standard diagnostic tests for breast lesions of less than 10 mm, which are core biopsy or hookwire breast localisation needle for open surgical biopsy. Since there is insufficient evidence to conclude that ABBI is superior to the standard diagnostic tests, no cost-effectiveness analysis has been undertaken.
Download or read book Mammography and Beyond written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-07-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year more than 180,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women in the U.S. If cancer is detected when small and local, treatment options are less dangerous, intrusive, and costly-and more likely to lead to a cure. Yet those simple facts belie the complexity of developing and disseminating acceptable techniques for breast cancer diagnosis. Even the most exciting new technologies remain clouded with uncertainty. Mammography and Beyond provides a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the state of breast cancer screening and diagnosis and recommends steps for developing the most reliable breast cancer detection methods possible. This book reviews the dramatic expansion of breast cancer awareness and screening, examining the capabilities and limitations of current and emerging technologies for breast cancer detection and their effectiveness at actually reducing deaths. The committee discusses issues including national policy toward breast cancer detection, roles of public and private agencies, problems in determining the success of a technique, availability of detection methods to specific populations of women, women's experience during the detection process, cost-benefit analyses, and more. Examining current practices and specifying research and other needs, Mammography and Beyond will be an indispensable resource to policy makers, public health officials, medical practitioners, researchers, women's health advocates, and concerned women and their families.

Download or read book Minimally Invasive Breast Biopsies written by Renzo Brun del Re and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern imaging methods have made it possible to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage than in the past. Nevertheless, a large majority of suspicious findings at screening subsequently prove to be benign. It is therefore important to be able to identify benign lesions in a manner that is reliable, tissue sparing, patient friendly, and cost-effective. More than 70% of breast biopsies can now be performed using minimally invasive procedures that meet these criteria. This book examines in detail vacuum-assisted minimally invasive breast biopsy systems (ATEC, EnCor, Intact, Mammotome and Vacora), stereotactic systems, MRI-guided procedures, and ductoscopy. Further chapters are devoted to the pathology of the breast tissue obtained using these procedures, their limitations, the implications of recent advances in breast imaging, and the results of cost-benefit analyses. The closing chapter provides a systematic review and meta-analysis of recent data.

Download or read book Breast Imaging written by E. D. Pisano and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this work, Breast Imaging, reflects the intellectual expansion of the field that previously was limited to standard mammography. NMR, Sestimibi scanning, EPR, and optical imaging are all adding to the richness of approaches directed at the early detection of breast cancer. These approaches put us in the enviable position of asking which technologies are the most specific (not just the most sensitive), and which are the most cost effective (and not simply most useful). This book, edited by Dr Etta Pisano, discusses the key questions and discoveries in breast imaging through a series of essays.
