A<unk>  is usually done after a suspicious lesion is discovered on either mammography or ultrasound to get tissue for pathological diagnosis. Several methods for a<unk>  now exist. The most appropriate method of<unk>  for a patient depends upon a variety of factors, including the size, location, appearance and characteristics of the abnormality. The different types of<unk> es include fine-needle aspiration (FNA), vacuum-assisted<unk> , core needle<unk> , and surgical excision<unk> .<unk> es can be done under ultrasound, MRI or a stereotactic<unk>  technique. Vacuum assisted<unk> es are typically done using stereotactic techniques when the suspicious lesion can only be seen on mammography. On average, 5-10<unk> es of a suspicious<unk>  lesion will lead to the diagnosis of one case of<unk>  cancer.
